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?

CAREER OPTIONS IN CORROSION

  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 risk planning - 1 - Lead acid battery

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.
