CORROSION CAUSE INVESTIGATION AND PREVENTION

UTC is the training organiser recognized by Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), Professional Engineers Board (Singapore) and Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Continuing Professional Development Board.

UTC’s Experts and guests with extensive technical experience from industries conduct industrial technical training courses to public to share their knowledge and industrial experience. After attending UTC's accredited training courses, fire safety managers (FSM), professional engineers (PE) and safety officers can be awarded CPD (FSM), PDU (PE) and SDU (SISO) for fulfilling their renewal requirements.

"Corrosion engineering - corrosion causes and prevention" is a industrial technical training course approved by Singapore governmental agencies, and qualified for 12 PDUs by PEB (Professional Engineer Board, Singapore) & 14 SDU points (SISO) by Singapore Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Continuing Professional Development Board.

To enable participants to

• Understand impacts of corrosion to society
• Know the common corrosion types
• Learn corrosion causes and mechanisms
• Investigation techniques on corrosion
• How to minimize and prevent corrosion

Corrosion occurs in all industries from automotive and aerospace to infrastructure, construction, marine, petroleum, power, paper making, food processing, bioengineering, and pharmaceuticals. Corrosion is costly, dangerous, wasteful, and unsightly in some cases. It can be predicted, controlled, and even avoided. This corrosion engineering training course presents an overview of nine major corrosion processes and related corrosion monitoring techniques, prevention methods. The principles discussed are applicable to all metals. Course emphasis is on principles, mechanisms of corrosion and practical applications to solve industrial corrosion problems.

1. Effects and Economic Impact of Corrosion
2. Basic Important Concepts of Corrosion
3. Eight Major Forms of Corrosion - general corrosion, stress corrosion cracking (SCC), crevice corrosion, pitting corrosion, galvanic corrosion intergranular corrosion, erosion corrosion and selective leaching
4. Microorganism induced corrosion (MIC)
5. Types of Corrosive Environments
6. Principles of Aqueous Corrosion
7. Corrosion Characteristics of Structural Materials
8. Corrosion Control by Proper Design
9. Corrosion Control by Materials Selection
10. Corrosion Control by Protective Coatings and Inhibitors
11. Corrosion Control by Cathodic and Anodic Protection
12. Failure Analysis on Corrosion
13. Corrosion Testing and Monitoring
