Specialised - Material Science (Corrosion)
Course Objectives
At the end of this seminar, attendees will have a better understanding of the following:
1) Critical concepts surrounding the basic nature and behaviours of materials such as:
- A simple atom-level view of metals/materials
- Micro-structural characteristics of materials
- Mechanical properties and strengthening mechanisms of materials
- Ferritic, austenitic and duplex stainless steels as well as other alloys
2) Appropriate materials of construction for various applications, considering factors such as pressure and temperature ratings, corrosive threads and compliance with standards and specifications
3) Understand various alloy options, along with their advantages and disadvantages
4) NORSOK and ISO standards as they relate to material selection and corrosion.
5) Sour gas corrosion, NACE standards and component selection for compliance with NACE standards
6) Semiconductor applications, dry corrosion and methods of prevention, material selection options available
