Why Choose this Training Course?
This comprehensive and structured training course aims at providing a clear understanding, classification and applications of major engineering materials. Particular attention will be given to corrosion and corrosion resistant materials.
The understanding and selection of metals, including, carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels (Austenitic, Martensitic, Ferritic), cast irons, copper alloys, titanium and nickel-based alloys, selection of heat treatment and mechanical strengthening techniques for optimal metals applications will also be covered.
The behaviour and the optimum selection of materials under various operating conditions and degradation mechanisms including different types of stress, corrosion and elevated temperatures will be examined, including practical examples. In specifying a material, the task usually requires three stages:
- Listing the requirements
- Selecting and evaluating the candidate material
- Choosing the most economical material
When considering economical factors, the important criteria should not be the initial cost of a material, but its life-cycle cost or cost effectiveness.
This PetroKnowledge Metallurgy, Materials Selection and Corrosion training course will highlight the:
- Types of corrosion and corrosion mechanisms will be addressed, including stress corrosion cracking and environments including H2, H2S, Cl,
- Selection of corrosion protection systems: protective coatings, liners, inhibitors and cathodic protection systems
- Selection of non-metals such as polymers that are used for corrosion protection coatings and liners
- Examination of the required materials properties, selection, and optimisation for a variety of applications such as piping, valves, pressure vessels, equipment and welding
- Different materials selection criteria using a variety of practical examples

Organisational Impact
The company will achieve improved and optimised materials selection for various structures and components, including pressure equipment, piping systems and process equipment.
- Optimised materials selection criteria will increase and predict the live of components and equipment under various conditions, including corrosion, static and elevated temperatures.
- Damage to process equipment and risk due to failure will be significantly reduced through the proper selection of materials.
- Reduction in cases of uncontrolled changes through better understanding of the significance and interdependence of materials selection, design, operation and maintenance on integrity of engineering components, structures and process equipment.
Personal Impact
- Participants will gain sound and practical understanding of a variety of engineering materials and how to assess their impact on structures, components and process equipment over their operating life. This includes basic criteria and methodologies for the selection and optimisation of engineering materials.
- Participants will extend their knowledge of various types of corrosion and how to mitigate the effect of corrosion through the correct selection of materials, coatings, inhibitors and cathodic protection.
- Participants will learn about other major degradation mechanisms (including static, fatigue, fracture, elevated temperature, and creep) that affect process equipment fitness for service and could result in significant potential failures. They would also be able to predict these degradation mechanisms and how to prevent and control this degradation and damage mechanisms using proper materials selection criteria.
- Participants will have a better understanding of the interdependence of materials selection, design, operation, and maintenance on the life, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of equipment.
