The Corrosion Technician Certification is tailored for individuals with at least two years of corrosion-related work who operate under the direction of more senior technologists.
Apply corrosion fundamentals including electrochemical cell principles, Faraday's Law, Ohm's Law, galvanic series, and Pourbaix reactions to assess corrosion behaviorIdentify and analyze forms of corrosion across environmental, external, and internal mechanisms to support corrosion management decisionsEvaluate material properties and metallurgical characteristics to support material selection for corrosion-resistant applicationsApply cathodic protection systems, coatings, and corrosion inhibitors to control and mitigate corrosion in industrial environmentsConduct corrosion inspections and testing activities documenting findings in compliance with recordkeeping requirements
