The next virtual course will take place on Wednesday 24 September 2025.
We are delighted to be working with experienced trainer Clayton Thomas to offer this one-day short course introducing the fundamentals of corrosion and how it can be prevented.
Corrosion and its prevention are issues which impact on every industry. Understanding how materials will react in their service environment is a crucial aspect of materials selection and appreciating how potential corrosion problems can be mitigated is an important part of the design process. The knowledge gained from the course will enhance discussions between customers and suppliers and will assist engineers and designers when specifying materials.
This course is one of nine courses in the IOM3 Metallurgy in Practice suite.
If you attend this and two of the other courses in the series, you will receive an IOM3 Certificate in Metallurgy in Practice.
If you attend this and five of the other courses in the series, you will receive the IOM3 Diploma in Metallurgy in Practice.
