Modern Methods for Corrosion Prevention and Analysis
Billions of dollars are spent annually on the effects of corrosion, so accurate and efficient methods to monitor and prevent corrosion are critical to safety and productivity in most industries. Compared to traditional corrosion analysis methods that offer a qualitative overview of the process, electrochemistry provides quantitative insight into the corrosion process. These electrochemical tests allow scientists to analyze corrosion failure and mechanisms and are more cost-effective and less time consuming. Insights from quantitative, electrochemical tests can be used to develop corrosion mitigation practices like corrosion inhibitors and resistant coatings.
Join our webinar to hear Larry Tucker, Director of Norms and Standards at Metrohm USA summarize our broad industry perspective on corrosion monitoring, prevention and mitigation. Dr. Julia van Drunen, Head of Competency Center, Voltammetry at Metrohm will discuss the application of electrochemical methods used to measure and monitor different types of corrosion.
A Q&A session with Larry Tucker and Dr. Nam Tran, Electrochemistry Applications Specialist at Metrohm USA, will follow these presentations, allowing you to get personalized answers to the corrosion issues you encounter. Plus, attendees can receive a certificate of attendance!
This mini course is ideal for:
- Laboratory scientists and managers performing Corrosion R&D
- Failure analysis or prevention scientists
- Those involved in studying coating efficiency
What you'll learn
- Discover how to assess corrosion processes
- Learn about different types of corrosion and how to mitigate them
- Learn how to make effective decisions about corrosion mitigation
