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 16hrs of online live sessions with the instructor. All training content is provided through your EngineeringTrainer account.
After the course you maintain 1-year unlimited access to the course, including any new course material. This allows you to perform modules again should you need to refresh your knowledge.

Live sessions
This course consists of instructor-led group sessions, these group sessions can be Virtual or Onsite. During these sessions participants can ask questions to the instructor which are discussed, as well as questions submitted beforehand in the learning portal.
After each live session used slides and exercise documents are made available to participants on the learning portal.
Please note that for privacy reasons no recordings of the live sessions are made or provided.
You receive 1-year unlimited access to the course. This allows you to watch content again if this is beneficial for your daily work activities.
The sessions are scheduled together with the customer and are private for their team only.
Typically the training course would be scheduled as:
-
Virtual: 8 sessions of 2 hours
-
Onsite: 2 days of 8 hours
Though there is total flexibility to customize the training program.
A personal digital certificate will be made available to each participant upon full attendance.
