Specialised Technical Course
Material Selection for Corrosive Environments
Develop material selection judgement by connecting corrosion exposure, material properties and operating requirements with a documented selection rationale.
Course Overview
Examines material selection against corrosion exposure and operating requirements. Participants compare degradation concerns, material options and the evidence needed to support a selection decision.
