APP0404NI – Stainless Steels in Architecture, Building and Construction

Description

Estimated time: 1,30 hours

Language: English

Summary of the lecture

This course provides an in-depth understanding of the use of stainless steel in architectural, building, and construction applications, emphasizing strategies for corrosion prevention and long-term durability. Based on the Nickel Institute’s Guidelines for Corrosion Prevention, the course explores the principles of material selection, design optimization, fabrication practices, surface finishing, and maintenance procedures that ensure structural performance and aesthetic longevity. It also examines the environmental factors influencing corrosion behavior and highlights the sustainability benefits of stainless steel as a construction material.

What you will learn:

    • Explain the mechanisms and forms of corrosion affecting stainless steels in architectural and construction environments.
    • Assess environmental and design factors that influence the corrosion performance of stainless steels.
    • Select appropriate stainless steel grades and surface finishes for various atmospheric and service conditions.
    • Apply best practices in design, fabrication, and maintenance to prevent corrosion and extend service life.
    • Evaluate the environmental and sustainability advantages of using stainless steel in the built environment.
