What You'll Learn
.This course module aims to provide students with knowledge of the different types of corrosion in various industrial sectors, along with their causes and consequences. The module also covers the assessment of corrosion and its preventive methods, together with applicable testing methods. This will enhance the participants' knowledge and skills to tackle corrosion-related problems at their respective work places. Along with corrosion, the topic of erosion will also be dealt with in this comprehensive module.
Case studies of real corrosion problems in different industrial applications will be used to help students understand the causes and possible preventive methods. Furthermore, students will be given the opportunity to train in the use of both conventional and modern facilities available for corrosion characterisation.
