Explore the world of corrosion expertise with Outokumpu's Corrosion Academy

This is Corrosion Academy. Dive into the realm of stainless steel and corrosion with our team of technical experts. These corrosion webinars are designed to provide technical knowledge, valuable insights, and practical tips regarding corrosion challenges across various industries. 

Stainless steel is renowned for its exceptional resistance to corrosion, making it a material of choice across industries such as construction, energy, water treatment, and transportation. Through Corrosion Academy, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how stainless steel performs in corrosive environments—and how smart material selection can extend service life, improve safety, and reduce maintenance costs.

 

What is corrosion? And why does it matter?

Corrosion is the gradual degradation of metals through chemical or electrochemical reactions with their environment—typically caused by exposure to moisture, air, or aggressive substances. In industries where structural integrity and service life are critical, corrosion knowledge is essential. It supports smarter material selection, reduces maintenance costs, and enhances safety. Whether it’s corrosion in water, industrial environments, or transport systems, developing real corrosion expertise helps prevent failures before they happen.
