Course Overview:
This program provides participants with a complete insight into what corrosion is, what causes it, and how it can be prevented.
It contains information on the principles underlying the development of various forms of corrosion, the engineering alloys affected, and the environments in which the corrosion takes place.
They will study aspects of stainless steels, several different alloys and the international codes applied to them, low stress failure mechanisms such as ductile and brittle fracture, and fatigue, and stress raisers.
It is intended to prevent all failures, therefore, it includes such subjects as NDT, microscopy, and surface engineering A minimal amount of theory with practical case studies of components that failed glob, participants will be able to formulate steps that they can take towards performing this knowledge in their everyday work and it will fit newly hired engineers, designers and technology perfectly.
Course Objectives:
Participants attending the program will:
- Understand the principles and causes of corrosion
- Explain the techniques available for protection against corrosion
- Compare the relative merits of different stainless steels and other alloys
- Be familiar with international codings for industrial alloys
- Describe and explain low stress failure mechanisms in metallic materials
- Compare the characterization techniques for evaluating failure mechanisms
- Describe and compare methods for enhancing prevention of failures
- Participants will learn through a series of lectures and tutorials coupled with group discussions and examination of case studies on “real life” component failures in industry.
Determine when mitigation is required and the appropriate mitigation methods to utilize including maintenance pigging, physical design changes, and operational modifications
Who Should Attend?
Newly appointed engineers, designers and technologists.
New members of an engineering team.
Those engineers/designers/supervisors that have been in their position for less than a year, or are about to be promoted to their first managerial/ supervisory position.
Course Outlines:FN Diving performs the following underwater NDT Inspection methods when needed with Diver Technicians holding CSWIP 3.1 up to 3.4.
The program covers all the essential knowledge and understanding, and problem-solving skills, needed by newly appointed engineers/technologists with responsibilities in the field of metallic materials technology. A solid understanding of the principles underpinning the use of metallic materials in industrial applications will be given. There will be group discussions on case studies involving the failure of metallic components and the emphasis will be on understanding why failures happen and how they can be avoided. All participants will return to their organizations with a developed Action Plan to implement their learning from the program into their daily routine at work.
