SEAM Seminar Series: Surface Engineering

Surface engineering is a sub-discipline of material science with applications in many industries including mining, oil & gas, steel, agriculture, automotive, etc. If a material degrades over time, it always starts from the surface as a result of interaction with the environment, causing wear and corrosion. Surface engineering processes in combination with smart material choices can significantly extend a components service life. Thus, saving resources, time and money.

Corrosion Careers – Keeping Up-to-date with Industry

The Young Corrosion Group (YCG) invited all interested parties to their first online event for 2020. The YCG is a dedicated membership group for the Australasian Corrosion Association Inc. that aims to assist those new to the corrosion industry by providing networking, support and professional development opportunities. YCG activities are targeted at anyone who is new to the Corrosion Industry, and or under 35 years of age across all ACA industry segments (including Academic, Asset Owners, Consultants, Contractors, Suppliers, Students).

RT Radiography for Detection of CUI

CUI can be extremely difficult to detect, with insulation and cladding often masking corrosion and traditional methods, such as visual inspection through the removal of cladding and insulation can be time-consuming. Often the true extent of corrosion is not realised until too late, incurring substantial costs and productivity losses for operators. Radiography offers a safe, timely and cost-effective solution for the detection of CUI. The Oil and Gas Technical group of the ACA were fortunate to be joined by John Forlani (KAEFER Integrated Services) who shared some of his expertise with this method with us and discussed some of the key benefits of RT Radiography.

The Importance of Concrete Surface Preparation

The third and final of the ACA and ACRA series of joint webinar presentations on Silicosis and its prevention. Adequate surface preparation is the key to successful concrete repair and concrete protection projects. Inadequate surface preparation often leads to the failure of the repair or coating necessitating further re-work, incurring added expense, facility operational downtime and compromised integrity of the remediation and protection works.
