Basics of Corrosion

September 17, 2002 -- NiDI has launched the first in a series of five online training modules for the chemical process industry. These are online slide presentations accompanied by audio and scrolling text.

The first module, entitled "Basics of Corrosion" was written by NiDI consultant Bud Ross and edited by NiDI Technical Director Gary Coates. Audio is provided by Scott Farlinger and the user interface was designed by Intelygis Inc. of Toronto.

"Basics of Corrosion" is about 23 minutes in length and looks briefly at the various forms of corrosion (uniform, galvanic, pitting, crevice, erosion-corrosion, intergranular, corrosion fatigue, environmentally-assisted cracking, and stress corrosion cracking). It will give you a broad overview of the challenges facing designers and will give you some tips on how to tackle those challenges. Other modules in the series will delve more deeply into the topics introduced in the first module.
