  • Course focuses on practical corrosion engineering problems in marine technology. Detailed case studies included. Engineers and scientists designing ships and offshore structures benefit. Innovative content with a balance of theory and practice. Lecturer has extensive experience in marine technology and water treatment industries.

Overview

The Corrosion Training course focuses on applying corrosion science principles to practical engineering issues in marine technology. It includes case studies and covers topics such as corrosion mechanisms, factors affecting corrosion rates, and corrosion control strategies. The course targets engineers and scientists involved in ship and offshore structure design, offering a balance of theory and practice. Dr. Hodgkiess, an experienced lecturer in the field, leads the course with expertise in corrosion, materials selection, and water treatment. The course spans two days and is available at various locations in the UK and internationally.

Who should attend

Engineers, Scientists

Course Content

Corrosion Training

The course is designed to provide a cohesive theme relating corrosion science principles to practical corrosion engineering problems and a review of corrosion control strategies in the marine technology field. The course contains detailed case studies drawn from the lecturer’s research, testing and consultancy experiences.

Who Should Attend

Engineers and scientists involved in the design of ships and offshore structures. Personnel from shipyards, oil companies, classification societies and offshore structure builders will benefits from attending this course. The course is innovative in both content & structure with a careful balance of theory & practice.

ABOUT THE LECTURERS:

Dr. Hodgkiess has had several decades of R & D, consulting and teaching experience ion the marine technology and water treatment industries. Most of his research investigations have been reported in over 150 published papers together with many consultancy reports. He has undertaken numerous consultancies, test investigations and research investigations, in the fields of corrosion, materials selection and water treatment, for a large range of clients – mostly in the marine technology sector.

He has presented short courses (overseas and UK) on corrosion and corrosion control for specific industrial companies (including on-site courses) and for general attendance; including a long-running MTEC module.

For many years, he was a member of the UK MOD Standardisation (Metals and Corrosion) sub-committee – in connection with which he has written eight UK Defence Standards.

He is a past recipient of the Guy Bengough Award, by the UK Institute of Materials, for a series of papers on corrosion and corrosive wear of a range of materials.

Testimonials

We’ve helped thousands of professionals grow their skills and confidence. Hear directly from the people who’ve taken our training courses.

The course was exceptional, well run in terms of delivery of information, IT online course but seamless. Very interesting examples of temporary works failures applicable to the businesses we worked in. Break out activities / group examples worked very well and were again well managed by the trainer. Fantastic course, I will recommend to others! Best course I have attended in years!

CITB Temporary Works Co-Ordinator

Black & Veatch

The trainers knowledge was excellent and I liked his examples and how he could relate them to every day relatable examples that we could all understand. Coming from different industries and sectors his examples were a common ground. It was handled very well virtually and the engagement worked with his questioning and answering
