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.
