The "Fundamentals of Corrosion for Engineers" (FOCE) is a flagship intensive training program hosted by the Institute of Corrosion at its headquarters in Northampton. This comprehensive five-day course is specifically designed to provide engineers, scientists, and technicians with a solid foundation in the principles of corrosion and its control. As industries face increasing pressure to extend asset life and improve safety, understanding the electrochemical processes that lead to material degradation is more critical than ever.
The curriculum covers a wide array of topics, beginning with the basic chemistry and thermodynamics of corrosion, moving into the identification of different corrosion forms such as galvanic, pitting, and stress corrosion cracking. Attendees will gain hands-on insights into modern mitigation strategies, including the use of protective coatings, cathodic protection systems, and corrosion inhibitors.
Beyond theoretical lectures, the course emphasizes practical application through case studies and laboratory demonstrations. Participants will learn how to design for corrosion prevention and how to implement effective monitoring programs to detect early signs of failure. This course is an essential stepping stone for those seeking ICorr certification or professional development credits (CPD). It fosters a collaborative learning environment where delegates from various sectors—such as oil and gas, civil engineering, and aerospace—can share experiences and best practices. By the end of the week, attendees will be equipped with the technical competence to make informed decisions regarding material selection and maintenance strategies, ultimately saving their organizations significant costs associated with corrosion-related failures.
