Real-life case studies and solutions from our vast experience in Failure Analysis will be presented.

The structure of the course is as follows:

Introduction
Overview of corrosion
Corrosion mechanisms (part A) which would cover the following mechanisms:
Sensitisation
Tea Staining
Rouging
General/uniform corrosion
Pitting corrosion
Selective attack
Chloride stress corrosion cracking
Practical session A – looking at failed samples (actual and/or images) and discussing the potential failure mechanism.
Corrosion mechanisms (part B) which would cover the following mechanisms:
High temperature corrosion
Polythionic Acid stress corrosion cracking
Microbial corrosion
Practical session B – looking at failed samples (actual and/or images) and discussing the potential failure mechanism.
Corrosion mechanisms (part C) which would cover the following mechanisms:
Crevice corrosion
Corrosion under insulation
Hydrogen Induced Stress Cracking
Practical session C – looking at failed samples (actual and/or images) and discussing the potential failure mechanism.
Corrosion mechanisms (part D) which would cover the following mechanisms:
Galvanic corrosion
Caustic stress corrosion cracking
Erosion Corrosion
Corrosion Fatigue
Practical session D – looking at failed samples (actual and/or images) and discussing the potential failure mechanism.

Each mechanism will include the following:
A description of the failure mechanism and critical factors
How to identify the mechanism
Locations affected within the industry
Affected material types
Recommendations on how to prevent the damage mechanism including inspection and monitoring.
1 or 2 case studies related to the mechanism
