Metallurgy, Corrosion & Prevention of Failures
Course Description
This course presents a history of metals and the background on the origins of various metals. It provides an explanation of physical characteristics of metals, including the reason metals behave differently than non-metals. This course also explains how and why different metals are selected for specific environmental purposes, including resistance to wear, corrosion, heat, cold, repeated stress, and impact. It also deals with metallurgical aspects of welding. Emphasis will be placed on mechanical metallurgy, material selection, and the fundamentals of welding technology, welding metallurgy, inspection and quality of welds.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?

The course focuses on the fundamentals of corrosion as well as the potential problems caused by corrosion. It provides a review of the causes of corrosion and the methods for identification, monitoring and control. An understanding of corrosion and its control is vital for any company hoping to avoid the high costs that can directly or indirectly attribute to corrosion. This course also presents fundamental principles of corrosion and assists participants in recognizing corrosion problems, determining their causes, and understanding & selecting control methods. Emphasis is on the practical applications of corrosion technology to solve industrial corrosion problems. It focuses on the prevention of failures, the assessment of the state of damage in plant and equipment, and the use of failure analysis, inspection data, and operating history in predicting safe operating life or determining necessary remedial measures. Maintenance requirements, risk-based inspection (RBI) procedures, and the fitness for service (FFS) approach will be discussed along with the various mechanisms leading to damage and potential failure, mechanisms of accumulation, and predictive methods.
