Corrosion Mechanisms in Stainless Steels

delivered by British Stainless Steel Association, Institute of Corrosion and R-TECH Materials

Wednesday 15th January

10am – 4pm (GMT)

ONLINE COURSE

Corrosion causes plant shutdowns, waste of valuable resources, loss or contamination of product, reduction in efficiency, costly maintenance, expensive over design and jeopardises safety. This course addresses the

various corrosion mechanisms which can occur when using stainless steel materials in various industries.  Real-life case studies and solutions from our vast experience in Failure Analysis will be presented.

Course cost: £325 + VAT for ICorr / BSSA members, £375 + VAT for non members

The course structure will include the following:

1. Introduction

2. An overview of stainless steel

3. Overview of corrosion

4. Sensitisation

5. Tea Staining

6. Rouging

7. General/uniform corrosion

8. Pitting corrosion

9. Selective attack

10. Chloride stress corrosion cracking

11. High temperature corrosion

12. Polythionic Acid stress corrosion cracking

13. Microbial corrosion

14. Crevice corrosion

15. Corrosion under insulation

16. Hydrogen Induced Stress Cracking

17. Galvanic corrosion

18. Caustic stress corrosion cracking

19. Erosion Corrosion

20. Corrosion Fatigue

Each mechanism will include the following:

• A description of the failure mechanism and critical factors.

• How to identify the mechanism.

• Locations a ected within the industry.

• A ected material types.

• Recommendations on how to prevent the damage mechanism.

including inspection and monitoring.

• 1 or 2 case studies related to the mechanism.
