Corrosion, Metallurgy and Prevention of Failure For Engineers and Technicians Course
Introduction:
As engineers, designers, and technologists assume decision-making responsibilities, they quickly realize that materials play a vital role in the design, manufacture, and service life of components. For example, significant reductions in mechanical strength may result from exposure to fluctuating stresses (fatigue) or corrosive environments. In this seminar you will learn how these decision-making responsibilities can be made easier by being able to:
Course Objectives:
Participants attending the program will:
- Understand the principles and causes of corrosion
- Explain the techniques available for protection against corrosion
