About the course

Piping and mechanical engineers are regularly involved with metallic piping and pressure vessels. Typically the material selection is as defined by the material specialist in the design specification. The engineer is entitled to ask though, why this material selection? is this material susceptible to corrosion or fatigue? how should the integrity of the material be managed?

This training course aims to give engineers an appreciation of different types of metallic materials, for example what are the differences in micro-structure, what is the effect of heat treatment, and why is a certain metal susceptible to a specific failure mechanism. With the key outcome being piping and mechanical engineers who can pose the correct questions related to material selection and have the awareness to act proactively should they identify a risk.

During this course participants will learn about the decisions that are taken in material selection, from material properties and which design codes define the material composition, to how does the material selection play a key role in reducing the risk of failures due to corrosion and vibration. Cases are included to explain examples of typical in-service failures, followed by an overview of the principles of quality assurance, quality control and integrity management as applied to materials.

The course consists of 12hrs of online live sessions with the instructor. All training content is provided through your EngineeringTrainer account.

Learning Outcomes

After this course, you...
• understand the difference in properties between the different metallic materials, and how these are related to the microstructure of a material,
• are familiar with the different material manufacturing methods, and have seen how additives and heat treatment can be used to influence material properties,
• have been introduced to the common corrosion, stress corrosion and mechanical degradation mechanisms and the typical mitigation methods,
• know the principles of welding metallurgy and welding quality control,
• are aware of common failures and the principles of a failure investigation in the oil and gas, and energy transition sectors,
• understand the different NDT approaches, and the optimal application areas for each approach,
• have seen the principles of integrity management for metallic materials.
