Corrosion of Metals Webinar

About the Course

Join Michael Pfeifer, Ph.D., P.E.from 2:00 - 3:30 pm Eastern time for this webinar.

Corrosion is the most common cause of product failure. Understanding how metal corrosion occurs and how to prevent it from occurring is critical to designing products that function as required over their entire life. Understanding the different corrosion mechanisms is also important for being able to perform failure analysis and root cause analysis on corrosion failures.

This webinar discusses the causes of corrosion, seven common corrosion mechanisms and their causes, and how to control and prevent uniform corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking.

This webinar is an abridged version of our on-demand course Corrosion of Metals.

What You'll Learn

The following topics will be discussed:

• The parts of a corrosion cell
• The chemistry of corrosion
• Seven common metal corrosion mechanisms
• Metallurgical and mechanical design factors that influence corrosion rate
• How to control and prevent uniform corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking.

Additionally, examples of corrosion failures will be used for case studies.

Target Audience

Design engineers and forensic engineers.

Registering for the Webinar

The fee is $99 per person. After registering you will receive an email within a few hours with information about how to access the webinar. In addition to the webinar, you'll get 7-day access to a recording of the webinar.
