The objective of this course is to enable participants to:

• Understand the corrosion and wear – why and where they occur in power plants
• Learn how to identify different types of corrosion and wear, and understand how that
  knowledge can be employed to prolong component life
• Gain an understanding of surface engineering and how it is used to prevent corrosion and wear occurring in service
• Discover the full spectrum of surface engineering solutions from shot peening to paints,
  through electroplates to vapor deposition, from sprayed coatings to weld overlays and
  everything in-between

This course is designed for maintenance engineers who wants to understand all aspects of
how and why corrosion and wear occur, and how to prevent them occurring prematurely in service
by the use of surface engineering.
