 In
recent years, the need for education has become more
apparent given increased regulations, equipment exceeding
expected life, sophisticated technology, new testing
procedures, new repair philosophy, and company downsizing.
Given the variables, UDC created educational seminars
that would cater to these needs and provide continuous
education and training for those who function in all
capacities within the industry.
Today, UDC trains nearly
600 individuals yearly in the disciplines of Boiler
Inspection Techniques and Management. Each course
offered by UDC is a three day seminar and are either
conducted at the designated locations sponsored by
UDC or the location of your choice (in-house).

Metallurgical
Failures in Fossil Fired Boilers
|
| The
fundamentals of elementary metallurgy are clearly presented
in this seminar enabling the non-metallurgist to understand
the root cause of failures, microstructures, and several
aspects which metallurgical reports contain when tube
samples are sent for metallurgical testing. Real case
studies are used throughout this 2-day seminar to reinforce
the fundamental topics. Such topics include fundamentals
of ferrous metallurgy, failures and high temperature microstructures,
failure mechanisms, gas-metal reactions, water treatment
issues, welding problems and solutions, and remaining
life assessments. This course is sponsored by David N.
French Metallurgists Inc. and is instructed by Dr. French
available as both a publicly or privately held seminar. |
