Description

INTRODUCTION

Superalloys are rightly named due to their extraordinary mechanical properties and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. These alloys find application at most demanding service conditions like the hottest section of  jet turbine engines, space shuttle engines etc. Some superalloys operate in applications that go as high as 90% of their melting point while maintaining its high temperature properties. Superalloys consist of three groups of alloys namely nickel based, cobalt based and iron-nickel based. Base metals are extensively alloyed to achieve its superior properties.

Superalloys display extraordinary resistance to mechanical and chemical degradation at temperatures close to their melting points. These are generally used above 1000 deg F/ 540 deg C in a very demanding oxidizing atmosphere where parts are highly stressed. Apart from turbine engines, superalloys are used in marine, cryogenic, chemical processing plants etc. Extensive addition of alloying elements and special processing help superalloys to achieve its superior quality in extreme service conditions.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This Advanced Superalloy Metallurgy course is designed for professionals that wish to gain a nuanced and higher level of knowledge on concepts of working with superalloys.

The objective of this course is to help gain comprehension of the properties, metallurgy, manufacturing and application of superalloys. This course covers the concepts with enough details that provide the participants in this course an advanced knowledge of the various topics that pertain to working with superalloys.

At the end of the course, the participants will be exposed to concepts to make them advanced users with a nuanced view on how to handle the day to day business  of interacting on topics related to superalloys.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE

Our Advanced Metallurgy Series courses are designed to help those that are already proficient with metallurgy topics and need advanced knowledge because the job demands it or you are working on a specific project that requires you to learn in detail.

It is designed for a wide variety of audiences like :

  • Supply chain managers
  • Sr. Sourcing engineers
  • Sr. Quality engineers
  • Quality Managers
  • Senior Testing Engineers
  • Advanced Project Engineers
  • Sr. Development Engineers
  • Sr. Design Engineers

If you are looking to gain a primary knowledge instead of an advanced understanding of superalloys then you should consider the Fundamentals of Superalloy Metallurgy course instead of this one.
