To being a corrosion 'nerd'

Image
By

I am someone who loves to study. This may sound 'nerdy'. In fact, someone called me that once. I was almost 22 and even then I was OFFENDED. Hah!

This is something so many of us have struggled with. In fact, just to not be a 'nerd', there are people who have simply stopped studying as much as they used to. After all 'OMG, you study so much!' is not really 'cool' after a certain age.

Not anymore! I have learned that everyone is 'nerdy' in their own way, even those who pride themselves of being 'laid back' and proceed to call others 'nerds'. 

So, here's to you, the sports lover. YES, I am looking at you. If you can mouth off the statistics for your favourite team, you are a nerd, only a sports one.

In fact when I get hold of a magazine for corrosion, I have to take a deep breath and choose which article to read. Obviously, I want to read all the articles at once! There is so much to learn, especially in terms of science.

Well, guess what! This pandemic has turned each of us into nerds! Everyone is up and about completing certifications in a variety of topics. I have not been exposed to half of them.

I have wanted to signup for so many online courses, but two things always held me back -

1. Money 

Some of the exemplary courses are expensive. As a fellow course creator, I can totally understand this. However, as a student, I am unable to make myself go for it.

2. Time

As a WFH person, it is difficult to get sufficient time to concentrate AND complete the course in time.


Hence, when I designed the courses for my website CORROSPECTIVE , I decided to make them short and detailed.

Thus, there are three categories - Major, Mini, and Micro. The name itself defines the scope of the course.

Keeping in mind the critical issue of time, I have uploaded courses of only Mini and Micro levels. The Mini courses include sections related to electrochemistry, types of corrosion, testing methods, and corrosion prevention methods for Oil and Gas, and Marine industries. They are a comprehensive explanation of the most salient points. 

You have to put in a total of just 3 hours, AT YOUR OWN PACE!



Do you not have 3 hours? No problem! Do you have 30 minutes?

Then the Micro courses are for you! I have had students who said they want to know only about the types of corrosion. Some of them wanted to brush up only electrochemistry. If you are one of them, this category is PERFECT for you!

Do you want to try a course before deciding? No problem!

So, let's take pride in being nerdy! Let's become #corrospective!

Corrosion risk planning - 1 - Lead acid battery

By
Corrosion is a quality, environment, and safety issue. Hence, it has to come under the cope of integrated management system audits However at the moment, it is more or less considered a quality issue. As such, the general tendency is to solve corrosion issues as they come. Especially in new inventions, the foresight to look for potential corrosion risk gets lost in the attempt to focus and highlight the amazing qualities of the said inventions. Hence, I have initiated this series, where I will take a component and point out the potential corrosion and damage risk areas.  Here goes the first one - lead acid battery cell. (Source:https://opentextbc.ca/chemistry/chapter/17-5-batteries-and-fuel-cells/)  Protective casing -  effect of temperature + electrolyte + contamination in electrolyte on the polymer crevice corrosion at fixtures mechanical damage during handling leading to voids for moisture ingress and oxygen/electrolyte leakage Positive terminal - corrosion of the mate...

CAREER OPTIONS IN CORROSION

By
  CAREER OPTIONS IN CORROSION The first time I studied corrosion was in 2009. The last 14 years have taught me one important thing - The path of a career in corrosion is not as straightforward as we are led to believe. Whether we are starting as a student of corrosion, or are entering the field after working as a non-corrosion person, there is always some career pathway that we are not aware of. There are research projects, certifications , audits, inspections , etc. EveryEng gave me the opportunity to share my learnings about the possible options in the field of corrosion . If you are someone who is starting or wants to switch to/between corrosion and its related fields, here is a short presentation for you! https://www.everyeng.com/mentor/course/view/3559864f 😀 Happy learning! 😀

Corrosion in fertilizer industry - 1.2 Elemental sulphur attack

By
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE OR READ ON BELOW!  Elemental sulphur attack is NOT sulphidation or hydrogen sulphide corrosion. It is an aqueous corrosion phenomenon. It considers two modes -  acidification of sulphur - formation of sulphuric acid 2.      direct cathodic reduction of sulphur with anodic dissolution of iron The lowering of pH is the main source of corrosion in both the methods. The phenomenon is temperature dependent. It increases with increase in temperature and becomes particularly severe above the melting point of sulphur (~112.8 degree Celsius). Hydrogen sulphide present in the petroleum may aggravate the sulphur attack by enhancing uniform pitting corrosion. Monoethylene glycol is used to prevent condensate formation ans may be present in traces in the feedstock petroleum. This enhances the sulphur attack in the form of uniform corrosion, and crevice corrosion. References:  Fang, Haitao, Brown, Bruce, Young, David, and Srdjan NeÅ¡ic. "Investigation...
