Introduction to Metallurgy and Corrosion Short Course - Call us on +44 (0) 1443 223544 or Contact Us - 5 Days
Introduction This course looks at physical metallurgy , the crystal structure of metals and alloys and its effect on the physical and mechanical properties of the metal; and process metallurgy which deals with the alloying, shaping and subsequent heat treatment of the metal. By understanding the effects of alloying elements, heat treatment, work hardening and surface finishes we can appreciate and understand the issues and causes of failure of mechanical devices and why corrosion has been such a problem with certain components in certain situations. The course will demystify the choice of materials, the effects of heat treatment, hardening techniques and examine the way in which components have failed and the reasons for these failures. We will look at the ways in which we can minimise the cost of this damage and how we can extend the life of our equipment and plant.
Topics Include 1) Atomic structures; Cooling curves; Electro- and co-valency, metallic bonds; Van der Waal’s forces Who is this course for? Maintenance Supervisors and technicians engaged in the repair of equipment and plant. Engineers and technicians who are new to corrosion and want to understand the metallurgical aspects of corrosion. Operations personnel who want to reduce operating costs and waste associated with corrosion. Oil & Gas, Engineering In-house Short Courses Below is a list of our oil & gas and engineering course categories. Each of which has a list of courses that we offer.
