Corrosion Training Programme

Series of one day specialist training courses

 

Course date: Please enquire

Course overview

A series of one day specialist training courses, that can be linked to form a five day short course, covering various aspects of corrosion, its monitoring and prevention at Cranfield University.

Courses are delivered through lectures and group exercises by a combination of subject specialists from the academic community at Cranfield, and industry practitioners. Delegates receive full course notes which complement the lectures and provide an invaluable reference tool in the workplace.

Aimed at design and maintenance engineers and technical staff from a wide range of industries including the offshore, water and aeronautical sectors. Days 1, 2 and 5 will provide an understanding of the principles of corrosion and its control. The full 5 day course will meet the training needs of individuals in the offshore sector.

Full details of the timetable, how to book and a booking form can be found in the course brochure.

Speakers

Dr Mike Robinson (MJR) is a Reader in the School of Applied Sciences at Cranfield University. Mike has over twenty years experience of organising and presenting corrosion courses for the oil and gas industry, both in this country and overseas. His research interests include microbial corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement and cathodic protection.

Professor David Stephenson (DJS) is Head of the Department of Materials at Cranfield University. David’s research has included the processing and performance evaluation of oxidation and corrosion resistant materials, life prediction modelling and the development of new surface engineering techniques.

Professor John Sharp (JVS) is Visiting Professor to the Offshore Technology Group at Cranfield University. John retired from the Health & Safety Executive in 1997, where he was Head of Research in the
Offshore Safety Division (OSD). His main expertise is in the field of materials and structural integrity related to the offshore industry.
