Course description

This introductory course discusses most common metallic materials for offshore structures, components and pipelines, including manufacturing methods and fabrication activities used. The course also endeavours to give a more in depth understanding of selected topics like basic metallurgy, welding, hydrogen induced stress-cracking (HISC), pipeline materials and failure investigation.

Learning objective

Upon completion participants will:

• Obtain basic competence on the most common offshore metallic materials and their respective fabrication methods
• Improve understanding of the different material issues typically encountered in an offshore development project.

Target group

• Materials engineers with little or no experience
• Engineers working with manufacturing and fabrication follow-up
• Design engineers with special interest in materials.
