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 to learn basic of corrosion chemistry and all related topics about corrosion, and corrosion control systems. 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 and apply recent technologies of corrosion control, inspection, and all different methods of corrosion monitoring for all types of corrosion
