Course Description
This training course is designed to give a semi-detailed discussion of Metallurgical failure analysis in order for the course material to suit participants with or without a metallurgical background. The course is divided into three main areas: Analysis methodologies and investigation techniques, Failure modes and mechanisms and Failures involved in different engineering parts. In addition several case studies are explained to the audience and discussion of case studies which might have been encountered by some of the participants.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
-
- Differentiate between different types of failures
- Be able to choose the appropriate failure analysis technique(s)
- Relate different failures to their possible causes
- Write a failure analysis report
Training Objective
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
-
- Differentiate between different types of failures
- Be able to choose the appropriate failure analysis technique(s)
- Relate different failures to their possible causes
- Write a failure analysis report
Target Audience
Design engineers, Inspection engineers and technicians, process engineers, welding engineers, welding inspectors and other welding personnel, maintenance engineers and technicians, manufacturing engineers, product development engineers and managers, mechanical engineers with or without experience in metallurgy / failure analysis. Others who may benefit from this training course are commercial liability insurance underwriters and claims adjusters and trial lawyers specializing in product liability cases.
