Metallurgy, Corrosion & Prevention of Failures Material Selection & Properties
Course Description
The first step in safety and reliability of refinery equipment is identifying, understanding, preventing the relevant fail¬ure mechanisms. Corrosion is the primary cause of fail¬ure of components in the process industries. The success or failure of the equipment to corrosive environment to a great extent depends on the right metallurgy. Thus proper understanding of the metallurgy and corrosion phenom¬enon helps engineers to mitigate corrosion and to monitor it on a periodic basis, based on which, corrective actions can be taken. Premature failure of critical components like pipelines, tanks, pressure vessels, boilers and related equipment, heat exchangers and welded joints often re¬sults in operating down time, loss of production, environ¬mental pollution and in some cases, loss of human life. Millions of dollars are spent every year by these industries to combat corrosion. The course crosses the boundaries from the fundamental information to top notch in the re¬cent technological achievement in this field.
