Course overview

What are the basics of cathodic protection and corrosion circuits? How can you define AC/DC electrical concepts and types of electrical circuits?What are the differences between anodic and cathodic corrosion cells, and what is MIC?

This one-hour self-paced course will cover basic cathodic protection and corrosion circuits and includes terms, definitions, corrosion rates, external microbial induced corrosion, and pipeline stresses. 


At the end of this course, students will be able to define AC/DC electrical concepts, name the types of electrical circuits, types of corrosion, and differentiate between anodic/cathodic corrosion cells, galvanic series, and MIC.
