D. Matthew Stuart, P.E., S.E., P.Eng., F.ASCE, F.SEI, A.NAFE

Purpose and Background

This webinar will include a discussion of the many types of metal deterioration, methods of investigating metal corrosion and methods of addressing and preventing metal corrosion. In addition this webinar will include a discussion of the different types of metal corrosion that can be determined visually, with supplemental means of detection and using a microscope. The webinar will also provide examples of the many different types of metal corrosion, deterioration, and damage. At the conclusion of the webinar, the book entitled “Rust the Longest War” by Jonathan Waldman will be discussed.

Benefits and Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Become familiar with methods of cleaning and assessing metal corrosion.
  2. Understand the types of corrosion that can be identified visually.
  3. Understand the types of corrosion that can be identified using the supplementary means of assessment,
  4. Understand the types of corrosion that can only be identified using microscopes.
  5. Become knowledgeable of the methods used the detect metal deterioration.
  6. Become Familiar with cast-iron and wrought-iron corrosion and repair.
  7. Become familiar with stray current corrosion.
  8. Become familiar with the book “Rust the Longest War” by Jonathan Waldman

Assessment of Learning Outcomes

Students' achievement of the learning outcomes will be assessed via a short post-assessment (true-false, multiple choice and fill in the blank questions).
