Introduction

This course will cover the properties of materials, theory of corrosion, types of corrosion, and preventative measures (likely locations, inspection and monitoring techniques, variables affecting corrosion). You will also learn about corrosion monitoring, structural damage mechanisms, degradation of materials in-service conditions, and types of failure.

In addition, the course will look at basic electrical theory associated with corrosion, inspection techniques and the application of conventional ultrasonic methods.

Objective

•    To understand the fundamentals of material failure at normal and plant operating condition and why different material behave differently - strategic maintenance methods
•    To understand how plant aging can cause catastrophic failures and the methodology of inspection
•    Importance of monitoring and modern methods
•   Case studies from plant failures and failure analysis to reinforce understanding of theory
•   To understand corrosion in other structural materials as concrete fiberglass and nonmetals

Audience

Candidates who intends taking certification- For those interested in learning fitness for service of plant  and equipment- for  Managers and staff interested in health safety and environment of unintended plant failure-for planning Managers interested in MRO and plant maintenance and know all about inspection and monitoring

This five day intensive Short Course is intended for Engineers, Technicians, Managers, Supervisors, Salespersons, Inspectors, Anyone needing a basic understanding of corrosion.

Certificate

MAESTRO CONSULTANTS Certificate of Completion for delegates who attend and complete the training course

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
