Association of Southern Africa<br />
(HDGASA). Bob has over 40 years<br />
experience in corrosion science and<br />
engineering, having worked at the CSIR,<br />
JCI Ltd, Anglo and Platinum and in<br />
private consultancy.<br />
In 1997, NACE published a book written<br />
by Bob on corrosion protection design<br />
and practice in the mining and<br />
metallurgical industries. After retiring<br />
from Anglo Platinum in 2000, Bob<br />

Introductory<br />
Galvanizers<br />
Inspection Course<br />
This one day course has been<br />
designed to be more simple and<br />
more practical than the 3-day<br />
galvanizers inspectors course<br />
discussed elsewhere in this<br />
magazine.<br />
Topics to be covered and discussed are:<br />
• Brief description about corrosion<br />
• How zinc protects<br />
• The hot dip galvanizing process<br />
• Inspection before and after hot dip<br />
galvanizing<br />
• Multiple choice question test for course<br />
effectiveness.<br />
Should you require some background<br />
information on hot dip galvanizing<br />
and its acceptance and have a<br />
limited formal education, this<br />
course is for you!<br />
Contact our offices for more details.<br />
