Type
Short course
What you will learn On successful completion of this short course you will:Understand the basic principles of material structures on a micro and macro scale, and be able to relate microstructure to mechanical performanceHave a broad knowledge of how the chemical composition, microstructure and processing route for steels and non-ferrous alloys influence the resulting mechanical propertiesBe able to relate fracture, corrosion and welding behaviour to particular alloy specificationsUnderstand the basis of selection of specific materials (steels, stainless steels, polymers, composites, copper and nickel based corrosion resistant alloys and concrete) for different applications offshoreKnow how to apply design codes, and their relevance to specification of materials in offshore applicationsHave knowledge of the specifications, composition, structure and properties of the various steels and non-ferrous alloys.
