Online Training Module Launched
September 17, 2002 -- Nickel Institute has launched the first in a series of online training
modules. These are online slide presentations accompanied by audio and scrolling text.
The first module, entitled "Basics of Corrosion" was written by Nickel Institute consultant
Bud Ross and edited by Nickel Institute Technical Director Gary Coates. Audio is provided by Scott Farlinger
and the user interface was designed by Intelygis Inc. of Toronto.
"Basics of Corrosion" is about 23 minutes in length and looks briefly at the various forms of corrosion
(uniform, galvanic, pitting, crevice, erosion-corrosion, intergranular, corrosion fatigue,
environmentally-assisted cracking, and stress corrosion cracking). It will give you a broad overview of the
challenges facing designers and will give you some tips on how to tackle those challenges. Other modules in
the series will delve more deeply into the topics introduced in the first module.
