This corrosion course provides an excellent avenue for corrosion practitioners, researchers, designers, technical managers, inspection and maintenance engineers, quality control personnel and those involved in failure analysis to update their appreciation of corrosion prevention through materials selection and design.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Develop and understanding of the nature of corrosion in relation with the environment
• Gain knowledge on the different forms of corrosion
• Set the guidelines for materials selection
• Understand the natural matching of a material with an environment
• Become familiar with the general classification of materials
• Have a good background on metallurgy and ferrous metals
• Gain a deeper understanding of materials and metallurgy including the general characteristics of metals and alloys
• Select materials and designs are most effective in cutting the cost of corrosion
• Know how can different forms of corrosion be designed out of the system
