Day 1 - Introduction to Weathering (W101) 

Attendees will learn:

1. Forces of Weathering: how sunlight, heat, and water can damage materials
2. Outdoor weathering testing, natural and accelerated
3. Laboratory weathering testing with xenon-arc and fluorescent UV tester technologies
4. Selecting test standards and developing weathering test programs
5. Correlation between lab and outdoor testing with Case Studies

Day 2 - Atmospheric Corrosion (AC101)

Our team will review:

1. Fundamentals of corrosion, including chemistry, forms, and mitigation
2. Outdoor corrosion testing and environmental characterization
3. Laboratory accelerated corrosion testing history, from early continuous salt spray standards to modern cyclic testing
4. Realistic testing for better correlation to actual service environments
5. Best practices for laboratory corrosion, including test monitoring and verification, and specimen evaluation

Attendees will also have the opportunity to discuss their applications and ask questions. Refreshments and course materials will be provided.
