Apply Advanced Coating Technologies for Corrosion and Wear Prevention

Apply Advanced Coating Technologies for Corrosion and Wear Prevention (39 hours) Skills Course Reference Number: CRS-Q-0033813-PRE This course module aims to provide students with knowledge and practical skills on using advanced coating technologies for corrosion and wear prevention. The module covers electrochemical, sol-gel, and plasma-based coating processes together with their applications in corrosion and wear prevention. The module is structured to enhance the knowledge of participants with lectures and lab demonstrations conducted in the well-equipped process and testing laboratories at SIMTech, followed by facilitated discussions for participants to identify and choose pertinent wear and/or corrosion-related problems encountered in their work. During the practice (hands-on) sessions, participants get to work on a specific relevant project of their choice under the coaching of topic experts to apply the knowledge and skills learnt in this module to address practical problems in their workplace. Why This Course • Designed to specially cater to Singapore’s industry demand • Delivered by technology experts with many years of industrial projects’ experience • Highly practical and hands-on work intensive • Latest knowledge and up-to-date technologies via industrial case-studies • Project-based practice sessions emphasizing on problem-solving skills Who Should Attend • Mangers, engineers, technicians working on coating development/application and product distribution/ marketing as well as equipment/facility maintenance • Managers, engineers and technicians of Singapore authorities who are tackling corrosion and wear prevention-related issues • Production/process directors and managers in decision-making roles for maintenance and upgrading of infrastructure and equipment When & Where Please visit our website at KTO.SIMTech.a-star.edu.sg for the course schedule.

About the Course Leaders Dr Huang Zhaohong, Senior Scientist at SIMTech, received his BSc from the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, MSc from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and PhD from the National University of Singapore. Prior to joining SIMTech, he worked in the aerospace industry for many years specializing in surface engineering. Dr Huang’s current research areas include electrochemical processes for protective coatings used for various industry applications such as electronics, automotive, aerospace, marine and O&G, green energy, high-precision engineering, as well as solid/liquid waste treatment. Dr Sandor Nemeth is a Principal Reasearch Engineer with SIMTech. He earned his PhD at the Syracuse University, USA. He previously worked in Texaco R&D Department, Ethyl Petroleum Additives Inc., and Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, USA before moving to Singapore. Dr Nemeth spent over three years at the Singapore Productivity and Standards Board working on polymer and coating-related assignments prior to joining SIMTech in 2001 to focus on development of functional coatings, especially sol-gel coatings, corrosion protection and the development of scratch resistant coatings. Dr Zeng Xianting, Principal Scientist at SIMTech, received his BSc and MSc degrees from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China, and his PhD degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Dr Zeng is a specialist with more than 20 years of R&D and industrial project experience in plasma-based physical and chemical vapour deposition (PVD/CVD) of nano-structured super hard coatings for surface protection, and functional coatings for surface functionalisation.
