Engineering Material Selection April 13, 2009

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES

It is the responsibility of the end users to select the right materials for the right purpose. However, there are huge varieties of engineering materials that have been manufactured by so many mill-shops. Every material as well as manufacturer offers advantages of their materials with regards to mechanical & physical properties, corrosion resistance, and even offering a very good technological performance. Failure to select proper materials will shorten their lifetime and in turn will reduce the company profits due to lost of equipment and or valuable production time.

The course is intended to provide know-how in dealing with materials selection from huge varieties of materials available in the market. This 5-days course offers participants to understand the map of engineering materials availability, understand the material properties, to characterize materials, to understand concept of selecting engineering materials suitable for typical loading and atmosphere conditions. The course will also discuss about the available international standard for engineering materials.

There will be a special session for actual practice in the laboratory. The participants will have a chance to physically carry out some mechanical testing in the laboratory, to do material analysis by means of optical as well as electron microscopy, reviewing material standards applicable for oil and gas industries, fertilizer, petrochemical industries, steel industries, automotive and transportation industries.
