The Science and Technology of Adhesive Bonding is also part of the Advanced Materials MSc programme which is accredited by IOM3 and IMechE Who Should Attend? While open to all, the course is designed to This is a 5 day postgraduate course on the be fully appreciated by registrants with a first causes of corrosion and the practice of corrosion degree in engineering or science, or who have control. The emphasis will be to cover the equivalent experience. It will be assumed basic theory of electrochemistry and oxidation that all delegates are familiar with the basic as this is essential in the understanding of principles of chemistry. metallic corrosion. The thermodynamic and kinetic aspects will be discussed together Overview of the Course with metallurgical considerations. Using this • F undamentals of Electrochemistry foundation the methods which can be used to • Uniform and Galvanic Corrosion reduce, control or even prevent corrosion will be • Pitting and Crevice Corrosion described by internal and external lecturers. • Passivation • Fundamentals of high temperature oxidation The course is intensive with 20 lectures as well as • Cathodic Protection tutorials and a laboratory visit. The knowledge • Materials selection in the oil and gas gained during the course will be applied to industry components which have failed due to corrosion, • Biological corrosion and internationally known consultants will • Corrosion in reinforced concrete describe, from their own experience, real and • Scanning probe techniques important examples. • Environmental cracking and corrosion control in the oil and gas industry
Hence the course combines academic knowledge • Marine corrosion with practical field experience. • Corrosion of light metals in aircraft • Visit to QinetiQ The course is directed at engineers and scientists • Formulation of paints who are, or expect to be, involved in any form • Corrosion protection of paints of corrosion and corrosion control in research, • Polarisation and electrical impedance spec design and failure analysis as well as the • Test methods in corrosion selection of metals and alloys. It would also be • Surface analysis and microscopy useful for those in technical management or • High temperature corrosion teaching who wish to update their appreciation • Coatings for high temperature protection of the subject.

Comments from delegates The scope of the research spans topics as diverse as the production of graphine through to the Course Director mechanical testing of metre long sections of The Course Director is Dr Mark Baker, Victorian water mains. who is a Chartered Scientist and Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. Over the last decade, over £20 million has been invested in extending and upgrading buildings surrey.ac.uk/materials/people/mark_baker and equipment to support materials research and teaching at Surrey.
The University is also home to the thriving, much-admired Industrial Doctorate Centre in These short courses have been approved for Micro and NanoMaterials and Technologies “Professional Development” by IOM3 (Institute surrey.ac.uk/minmat, which was established in of Materials, Minerals and Mining). 2009 following an award of £6.2 million from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
