Argomenti del programma: The course addresses the criteria for selecting appropriate materials in the energy sector. In energy plants and equipment, materials must meet stringent requirements imposed by harsh environments for a sufficiently long lifespan, while also minimizing costs associated with the product life cycle (including design, manufacturing, service, maintenance, and disposal/recycling).

Argomenti del programma: A brief overview of the principles of physical and mechanical metallurgy, including the intricate nature of modern structural alloys and their strengthening mechanisms. Materials used in oil and gas distribution systems (midstream): carbon steels and low-alloy steels, including API 5L line pipes.
