WELDING, METALLURGY, CORROSION & INSPECTION
Introduction
In order to proactively improve and enhance the safety reliability and profitability in chemical plants and oil field related plant and machinery, it is necessary to understand where why, and how the corrosion related mechanisms cause damage which eventually lead to sudden failures. Such an understanding of failure mode helps to establish plant reliability and safety at optimal cost.
Objective
- To understand the fundamentals of material failure at normal and plant operating conditions and why different materials behave differently - strategic maintenance methods
To understand how plant aging can cause catastrophic failures and the methodology of inspection.
- Importance of monitoring and modern methods
- Case studies from plant failures and failure analysis to reinforce understanding of theory.
- To understand corrosion in other structural materials such as concrete fiberglass and nonmetals
Audience
Candidates who intend to take certification- For those interested in learning fitness for service of plant and equipment- for Managers and staff interested in health safety and environment of unintended plant failure planning Managers interested in MRO and plant maintenance and know all about inspection and monitoring. This five-day intensive Short Course is intended for Engineers, Technicians, Managers, Supervisors, Salespersons, Inspectors, and anyone needing a basic understanding of corrosion.

Case Studies, Group Exercises, Group Discussions, Last Day Reviews and assessments will be carried out.
Certificate
Define Management Consultancy & Training Certificate of course completion will be issued to all attendees.
Methodology
A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your analysis and experiences. Tests of the multiple-choice type will be made available daily to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.
Very useful Course Materials will be given.
