Course Introduction
Corrosion is a leading cause of equipment failure, safety incidents, and asset depreciation across industrial sectors such as oil & gas, power generation, water treatment, and manufacturing. Understanding how corrosion occurs—and more importantly, how to prevent and manage it—is essential to maintaining operational efficiency and asset longevity.
This comprehensive course delivers both the technical foundations and practical applications of corrosion engineering and management. Participants will explore corrosion mechanisms, materials selection, protective coatings, cathodic protection, inspection strategies, and lifecycle cost analysis. Real-world case studies will reinforce key concepts and help bridge the gap between theory and field implementation.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Identify and evaluate common corrosion mechanisms in industrial environments
• Select appropriate materials, coatings, and inhibitors for corrosion control
