Practical Failure Analysis – Corrosion Failures
This course is based on the Principles of Failure Analysis Lesson 6, Corrosion Failures. The cost of corrosion in the United States has reached over 2 trillion dollars per year. Topics will include corrosion, corrosion mechanisms, factors affecting corrosion, corrosion control and prevention, and analysis of corrosion failures. In specific the course will cover the 15 types of corrosion:
- Uniform (General) corrosion
- Localized attack
- Pitting corrosion
- Crevice corrosion
- Galvanic corrosion
- Selective leaching (Dealloying)
- Intergranular attack
- Exfoliation corrosion
- Erosion corrosion
- Filiform corrosion
- Fretting corrosion
- Environmentally Assisted Cracking (EAC)
- Stress-corrosion cracking
- Hydrogen Embrittlement
- Liquid Metal Embrittlement and Solid Metal Induced Embrittlement
- Corrosion Fatigue
- Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC)

Types of Failure and Stress
This course is based on the Principles of Failure Analysis Lesson 2, Types of Failure and Stress. Stress plays a significant role in all four types of failures: distortion, fracture, corrosion, and wear failures. Topics covered include the concepts of stress and stress intensity, stress concentration, notch sensitivity, types of loading, buckling, thin-walled pressure vessels, residual stresses, constraint, and plane stress/plane strain.
