Summary of the lecture
During our everyday lives we see corrosion all around us, but do we ever stop and think about why something is corroding.
More importantly do we ever think what could happen if the corrosion we observe is not left unchecked or more appropriately prevented? Learn more about corrosion and how to prevent it.
At the end of this steeltalk, participants will be able to:
- Identify different types of corrosion and their impact on infrastructure and industry
- Explain the global economic and environmental costs of corrosion.
- Assess traditional material choices and their limitations in preventing corrosion.
- Apply appropriate material selection strategies to minimize corrosion-related failures.

Tim was born and grew up in the home of UK stainless steelmaking, Sheffield. Whilst at school he worked part-time for his father making steelworks thermocouples and laboratory furnaces. After leaving school he studied metallurgy at university and joined British Steel Stainless immediately after graduating. A succession of industry mergers saw Tim undertaking senior stainless technical, operations and supply chain roles in the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK before joining the ISSF (now worldstainless) in August 2019. During his career Tim also found time to study Goldratt’s teaching on lean flow and operations, gain a postgraduate diploma in operations and inventory management and a masters degree in business administration. Away from work Tim still supports his boyhood football club, Sheffield Wednesday and enjoys rock music, cycling, fine wines and craft ales. |
