Course Description:  

Corrosion is recognized as one of the most serious problems in our modern societies and the resulting losses each year are in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Cost of corrosion studies have been undertaken by several countries This five day course is presented to help participants how to select procedures to assignment of corrosion protection methodology, how to check and determine the nature of corrosive environment and survey of catholic protection and maintenance. This course is presented to accomplish all experiences of who works in field of corrosion control and corrosion inspection.

Course Goal:

To enhance the participant’s knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to understand how to select procedures to assignment of corrosion protection methodology, how to check and determine the nature of corrosive environment and survey of catholic protection and maintenance

Course Objectives:

By the end of the course, participant will be able to:

1. Corrosion definition and various corrosion forms and shape in metallic structures.
2. Corrosion characteristics and its yearly cost
3. Corrosion prevention methods.
4. Cathodic and anodic protection methodology
5. How to achieve effective protection to the method structure.
