Plant performance and reliability are key factors impacting on the cost effectiveness of the power generation plant. Corrosion and other modes of failure cost the power generation industry millions of dollars every year. Understanding modes of materials failure is a key skill to ensure the long-term reliability and availability of heavy industrial plant. This course will provide students with an understanding of materials selection, the methods to determine plant integrity, plant fitness for on-going service, plant inspection techniques and examination and testing of components. The course considers the impact of materials selection from both the design context before and during construction of the plant as well as during service, including the importance of failure assessment and maintenance.
