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 investigation 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
Lonitudinal or Transverse Macro
Microscopic examination
SEM
Stress analysis
Mechanical Testing
Chemical analysis
Testing under simulated service conditions
During your investigations you will produce facts, data, and the objective outcomes rather than relying on opinions and feelings.
You will carry out investigative tasks:
Activity 1 - Record Keeping and develop a process route
Activity 2 - Macro examination of acutal sample material
Activity 3 - Investigation on actual mechanical test samples
Activity 4 - Introduction to Metallography
This practical examination will reinforce the digital images from the presentation and provide stimulating disscusions and debates through question and answers from your findings for you to gain maximum benfit and understanding of metallurgical investigation and failure analysis.
Benefit
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.
Who is this course for?
To attend this course, you will ideally have an understanding and knowledge of metallurgical aspects of metals and alloys and understand the importance of why it is imperative to have a structure in place to undertake a metallurgical investigation and failure analysis procedure.
