Non-Destructive Testing Methods for Metal Corrosion
In Non-Destructive Testing Methods for Metal Corrosion, you'll learn ...
- Thermodynamic and electrochemical characteristics of corrosion
- Various methods for corrosion detection, including the major types of nondestructive testing (NDT)
- The comparative strengths and limitations of NDT methods
- Protective measures against metal corrosion
Overview
When analyzing corrosion damage, the corrosion engineer needs to consider both the nature of the attack and the extent of corrosion damage. Most corrosion problems can be reliably evaluated by choosing a suitable nondestructive testing method. Nondestructive testing methods are not only useful in this context, but they allow for objects or materials to be inspected and measured without damaging them.
This course explains the basics of metal corrosion, including its principal characteristics, the various methods of corrosion inspection, and nondestructive testing methods for measuring corrosion. It summarizes the most important inspection methods and their relative ability to detect corrosion defects. The course also provides comparative charts of NDT methods as an aid for selecting the most appropriate method for the given situation.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify different types of metal corrosion and their properties.
- Describe NDT methods used to evaluate metal corrosion.
- Explain how NDT methods are used to characterize metal-corrosion properties.
- Describe NDT methods used for defectology and inspection of metal corrosion.
- Apply metrology, dimensional analysis, and measurement methods to metal corrosion using NDT techniques.
- Identify codes, standards, specifications, and procedures applicable to NDT methods for metal corrosion.
- Explain the correlation between NDT methods and the structure and properties of metals.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
