To being a corrosion 'nerd'


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 in fertilizer industry - 1.2 Elemental sulphur attack

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 Nešic. "Investigation...

What is a Corrosion Loop - PART 2 - EXAMPLE

How to prepare a corrosion loop? To prepare a corrosion loop, the person in charge will look at the overall picture and answer the following questions - 1. What is the process? 2. What are the components? 3. What are the materials for each component? 4. What are the common features among them? 5. Where does the commonality end? -  This is important as that will mark the beginning of a new corrosion loop. 6. Can I use the same inspection procedure for all of them? 7. Do they corrode/get damaged in the same manner due to the same reasons? WATCH THE VIDEO FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION -       Read part 1 here! https://corrospective.com/ 😀Happy learning! 😀

Electrochemical testing - part 3- What does an ammeter do?

 Electrochemical testing - 3 - Ammeter Poll Question WITH Answers: Description: Tafel polarization is a potentiodynamic test, where the potential is changed at a certain mV/time rate. The changes in the current flow occurring due to the potential change are measured using the ammeter. The ammeter is connected between the working electrode and the counter electrode. It is NOT connected to the reference electrode in any way .
