REPORT ON THE IIMS AND BRITISH STAINLESS STEEL ASSOCIATION ONE DAY SEMINAR
A combined audience of nearly 50 real-time and online delegates assembled on 23 January near Portsmouth UK for the first joint IIMS and British Stainless Steel Association training day under the guidance of tutor and course author, Dr Mike Lewus. The topic of the day? ‘Marine Corrosion and its Prevention in Small Vessels’. There was plenty of hard science, interspersed with practical reviews and discussion around particular types of corrosion, from pitting and crevice to stress cracking corrosion using photographic and anecdotal evidence.
Mike and his team produced a fabulous, comprehensive and very thick course manual for delegates a copy of which now sits in the IIMS library at head office.
The content of the day was themed and structured by Mike as follows:
1) Corrosion: Fundamental Principles 2) Forms of corrosion in ‘marine metals’ 3) Corrosion above the waterline 4) Corrosion below the waterline 5) Corrosion prevention strategies 6) Failure analysis and case studies
Feedback from those who attended has been hugely positive. As a result, IIMS and BSSA have agreed to run another identical
day’s training in Amsterdam on 27 November 2018. Watch out for further details on the web site. Many thanks to Graham Haines and Cygnus Instruments too for their generous support on the day.
Mike Lewus is happy to take calls from IIMS members on any aspect of corrosion and, if he can, is happy to help and advise. He can be contacted by email at
mike.lewus@bssa.org.uk, or call him at the British Stainless Steel Association by telephone on + 44 114 292 2637.
