Cathodic Protection Engineering
Corrosion engineering is important for protecting major infrastructure. This free engineering course breaks down anodic and cathodic protection and more.
Corrosion of engineering structures is inevitable and causes several issues that affect the economy, the ecosystem and people?s safety. This free online course deals with the external corrosion of buried and submerged engineering structures and how to control or prevent corrosion by employing cathodic protection. By completing this course, you will learn a lot about corrosion engineering and the basic principles of cathodic protection.
What You Will Learn In This Free Course
Introduction to Corrosion
In this module, you will be introduced to the corrosion of buried engineering structures. The forms of corrosion and control measures will be discussed. You will study the role of soil on corrosion and how they affect the external corrosion of pipelines. The differences between chemical and electrochemical reactions on corrosion will be examined.
Cathodic Protection Criteria and Survey
In this module, you will be introduced to cathodic protection criteria and their implication on corrosion. The merits and demerits of the criteria will be examined. You will also be taught how to conduct several surveys applicable to buried structures. The importance of anode ground beds and their roles in cathodic protection will be highlighted.
