Corrosion Course Overview

Environmental Cracking is one of the key factors that can affect

the structural integrity or limit the life of metallic structures.

Environmental cracking is a general term that includes: stress

corrosion cracking (SCC), caus c cracking, liquid metal cracking,

corrosion fa gue, hydrogen blistering, hydrogen embri lement (HE), hydrogen-induced cracking

(HIC), stepwise cracking (SWC), stress-oriented hydrogen-induced cracking (SOHIC), sulfide stress
cracking (SSC), so -zone cracking (SZC), and hydrogen stress cracking (HSC).

This 5-day corrosion short course systema cally and thoroughly covers the recogni on,
mechanisms, test methods and preven on of the various types of cracking phenomena. Also

discussed in this corrosion short course is the NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standard for the selec on
of crack-resistant materials for use in H2S-containing oil and gas environments.

This corrosion course is available for in-house training, online and distance learning worldwide. It
can also be customized to meet the specific needs of your organiza on.

In-House Training Corrosion Courses and On-Site Training Corrosion Courses

If you are concerned with corrosion in your company, in-house

training or on-site training is a great solu on to train a group of

employees from design, produc on, opera on, quality assurance,

inspec on and maintenance, and technical sales and support on

corrosion control and corrosion preven on technology. The

contents of all our corrosion courses can be customized to fit your organiza on's needs.

There is no limit to the number of par cipants required for in-house training corrosion courses. We

conduct the in-house training corrosion course at your company's premises worldwide, and at a
me convenient to your company.

one year if you have missed any of the publicly scheduled

corrosion courses as we have this unique corrosion course-on-

demand scheme: we will conduct the course just for you (on
an one-on-one basis) or for a small group from your company at a me and in a loca on
convenient to you. This op on costs significantly less than a full-scale in-house or on-site corrosion

training program.

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

PowerPoint slides and the computerized test banks (in MicroTest format) with solu ons. These
presenta ons are suitable for teaching corrosion courses at different levels (from undergraduate to

postgraduate) and dura ons (from 6 hrs to 40 hrs). These ready-to-use corrosion PowerPoint slides
contain high quality color photographs, illustra ons, anima ons and video clips. They can also be
easily edited and customized to your own styles. The corrosion test banks contain over 1,000

corrosion ques ons for your use in tutorials, tests or examina ons. These ques ons are
conveniently grouped into 4 categories in the test bank: (1) true or false, (2) mul ple choice, (3)

calcula on, and (4) reasoning and open-ended discussions).
