This is a shout out for IEM. The Chemical Engineering Technical Division will be organizing a Two-Day Course on Corrosion Control of Steel Structures by Coating Technology & Cathodic Protection on the 8th and 9th November, 2012 (Thursday & Friday) at Wisma IEM, PJ. The session is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. (registration at 8.30 a.m.) and end around 5 p.m. Participant will be granted 8 CPD/ PDP hours at the end of the course.
Corrosion has been a concern in many industries. Corrosion can cause unexpected failures of structures and can result in huge losses in life, production as well as environmental. It has been reported that corrosion can, on average, causing around 3% of GNP in many industrialized countries. Coating and Cathodic protection are two of few most effective corrosion protection methods available in the industry nowadays. It has been successfully used to overcome corrosion and extension of service life of structures.
The course is divided into three main parts. The first part deals with the fundamental of corrosion and its type, the second part will focus on the corrosion control by coating technology while the third part focus on cathodic protection.
The course will introduce you to the following topics:
- Fundamental of Corrosion
- Type of Corrosion and Its Recognition
- Type of Corrosion Control Methods
- Introduction to Corrosion Control by Coating
- Paint Components and Types of Binders, Pigments, Fillers and their Functions
- Requirements for Optimum Protection
- Failures and Type of Failures of Paints
- Criteria of Cathodic Protection
- Electrical Measurement for Cathodic Protection System
