Corrosion occurs in all industries, and it is vital to learn how to control, predict, and monitor the process. This course presents an overview of the eight major corrosion processes that can help you with your industrial corrosion problems. These problems cannot only be costly, but dangerous, wasteful, and unsightly.
Throughout this course, you will learn about the principles of corrosion technology that are applicable to all metals. You will gain valuable knowledge and practical application of this specific technology to guide you with your industry needs. The emphasis of this course is on practical applications of corrosion technology to industrial corrosion problems.
Corrosion: Understanding the Basics will be provided and used throughout the course to help guide you in the learning process.
