CORROSION AND ITS CONTROL SHORT COURSE
This course will offer two-days (Saturday and Sunday) of technical sessions
by experts in corrosion. It is intended for scientists, engineers, technologists,
maintenance personnel and managers who need an overview of current knowledge
on corrosion science and technology. This course theme will be focused
on the whole range of corrosion-resistant alloys, and the contents will
be geared to the day-to-day practice of materials engineers in different
fields and process industries. Presentations and workshops will give
you answers to questions related to corrosion and material degradation.
More importantly, key instructors are invited to share their expertise
on how you can best manage your materials costs while improving materials
performance and reliability. You
may register via the conference registration
form.
