Designing for Corrosion Control
The Designing for Corrosion Control Course reviews the principles of corrosion and corrosion control and provides a systematic method for applying the technology of corrosion prevention to the design process. It offers an overview of the steps involved in materials selection common to many industries. It also covers the economic considerations of including corrosion control in system design and the financial principles used in evaluating alternative materials and designs.
Anyone who has a technical corrosion background but is new to design including: civil engineers, mechanical engineers, design and process engineers, consultants, contractors, and architects.
No prior training is required. However,
for those with a limited corrosion background, the NACE Basic Corrosion
Course is recommended prior to taking this course.
- Corrosion Control and its importance in the Design Process
- Matching Materials Performance to Service Environments
- Materials Selection (Process, Methodologies and Factors Influencing Materials Selection)
- Effects of Corrosion and Design on Materials
- Optimization of Design
- Economic Considerations and Analysis
