Metallurgy, Corrosion & Prevention of Failures: Material Selection & Properties



Introduction:


The first step in safety and reliability of refinery equipment is identifying, understanding, preventing the relevant fail­ure mechanisms. Corrosion is the primary cause of fail­ure of components in the process industries. The success or failure of the equipment to corrosive environment to a great extent depends on the right metallurgy. Thus proper understanding of the metallurgy and corrosion phenom­enon helps engineers to mitigate corrosion and to monitor it on a periodic basis, based on which, corrective actions can be taken. Premature failure of critical components like pipelines, tanks, pressure vessels, boilers and related equipment, heat exchangers and welded joints often re­sults in operating down time, loss of production, environ­mental pollution and in some cases, loss of human life. Millions of dollars are spent every year by these industries to combat corrosion. The course crosses the boundaries from the fundamental information to top notch in the re­cent technological achievement in this field.

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Understand the fundamental theories of aqueous cor­rosion and dry corrosion
  • Understand basic metallurgy and choice of material selection suitable for the specific application
  • Enable the attendees to grasp the advanced infor­mation in preventive as well as predictive maintenance of equipment
  • Present different forms of corrosion from various mechanisms and related environmental factors
  • Corrosion control techniques
  • Illustrate study cases pertaining to corrosion failures, mainly pipelines, storage tanks, pressure vessels, boil­ers and heat exchangers
  • Present the advanced corrosion monitoring tech­nologies
  • Present typical corrosion failures and to illustrate the inter-relationship between fabrication techniques, service conditions and their effect on the corrosion re­sistance of engineering metals and alloys
