Stainless Steels and
Alloys:
Why They Resist Corrosion & How They Fail (1 day)
|
| |
Course Overview
(Online
Registration) |
| |
Stainless steels and alloys are perceived to be
corrosion resistant but often failed unexpectedly during service. This
course will discuss everything you wanted to know about stainless steels
and alloys including super-duplex stainless steels and high-nickel-chrome
alloys, from its classifications, compositions, microstructures,
metallurgy and mechanical properties to corrosion resistance properties –
why they resist corrosion and how they fail in service conditions.
Practical advice on the use and care of stainless steels will be
discussed. This 1-day corrosion short course provides an excellent avenue for corrosion
practitioners, designers, technical managers, inspection and maintenance
engineers, quality control personnel and those involved in failure
analysis to update their appreciation of corrosion resistance of stainless
steels and alloys.
This corrosion short course can be taken as in-house
training course, online course and distance learning course worldwide. It can also be customized to meet the
specific needs of your organization.

In-House Training Corrosion Courses
(Online
Registration) |
| |
All corrosion courses can be conducted at any
time for you as in-house training courses or distance-learning courses. There is
no minimum or maximum number of participants required for each course. Public
corrosion short courses, seminars and workshops are also conducted regularly. If you are
concerned with corrosion in your business, in-house training is a great
solution to train a group of employees from Production, Quality Assurance,
Inspection & Maintenance, and Technical Sales & Support on corrosion control
& corrosion prevention technology. Contents of all corrosion courses can be customized to fit your
organization's needs. Requests for in-house training courses, online
courses & distance
learning courses from overseas
countries are also welcome. Click
here for course registration online.

Online Corrosion Courses and Distance Learning
Corrosion Courses |
| |
All corrosion courses can be conducted
through online or distance learning. A master hard copy of corrosion course notes can be
mailed to your organization or a password may be issued to course
participants for accessing the online course materials. Instructions,
course assignments, discussions and questions related to the corrosion courses
are posted to the website or exchanged through email for a period up
to 12 months. Click

PowerPoint Slides and Test Banks for Trainers,
Instructors, Tutors, University Lecturers and Professors |
| |
If you are involved in teaching corrosion courses, you may wish
to purchase a complete set of the
PowerPoint slides and the computerized test banks (in MicroTest
format) with solutions. These presentations
are suitable for teaching corrosion courses at different levels (from
undergraduate to postgraduate) and durations (from 6 hrs to 40
hrs). The PowerPoint slides can be easily edited and customized
to your own styles. The test bank contains over 1,000 questions for your
use in tutorials, quizzes, tests or examinations. These questions are conveniently
grouped into 4 categories in the test bank: (1) true or
false, (2) multiple choice, (3) calculation, and (4) reasoning & open-ended discussions). If you
need more information, please contact
Corrosion Clinic.
