About the Course
The first part of this lecture will be to present the online web training presentation to the delegates on the theory of the 19 stages of metallurgical investigtion techniques that can be undertaken to analyse failure in metal and alloys.
The 19 Stages will include:
Collection of background data
Selection of samples
Preliminary examination of the failed part(s)
Chemical composition
Non-destructive testing
Plan of action
Consolidation of Benchmark Standards and Data
Visual examination
Fracture examination
SEM
Hardness tests
Macroscopic examination
Longitudianal or Transverse Macro sections/others
Microscopic examination
SEM
Stress analysis
Mechanical Testing
Chemical analysis
Testing under simulated service conditions
There will be an opportunity for you to have hands on experience investigating some of the above 19 stage sequence on actual sample material.
During your investigations you will produce facts, data, and the objective outcomes rather than relying on opinions and feelings.
This practical examination will reinforce the presented digital images from the presentation and provide stimulating discussions and debates through question and answers from your findings for you to gain maximum benefit and understanding of metallurgical investigation and failure analysis.
Benefits
You will return to your workplace with an increased knowledge of how to conduct metallurgical investigations and failure analysis.
You will understand what types of investigation techniques are available and how these may be used in the industrial sector that uses metallurgy.
These 19 stages will highlight the importance of record keeping, chemical analysis, visual macro and micro examinations and how theory and practical characteristics are used to conduct investigations.
You will understand what visual investigations you should consider when inspecting failure of the end product before conducting the full investigation.
