Increase your understanding
This course provides an introduction to the main elements of corrosion management systems and how they are used to manage MIC and other corrosion threats. Corrosion management is critical to the success of any corrosion control effort as it helps assure that the necessary processes, procedures and organizational support are in place.
Apply your new knowledge
Learn how to apply your knowledge in practical case studies. Identify escalation factors that reduce the effectiveness of preventive measures. Read about the implementation of real corrosion management systems in case studies.

Why is managing corrosion threats important?
Corrosion Management
Corrosion is serious a "threat" to the integrity and operability of engineered assets. While methods and technologies exist to manage most corrosion threats, corrosion damage still leads to failures and unintended consequences to human health and the environment, therefore managing corrosion is essential to sustainability. Corrosion Management is the process of using a Management System approach to controlling all aspects of corrosion, from threat assessment to monitoring and mitigation. Unfortunately, this management system approach is not universally practiced largely because it is rarely a part of engineering curricula or codified in regulations. With the urgency of decarbonization it is essential that future generations apply these concepts to minimize the detrimental effects of corrosion.
