The Welding Institute’s Materials Technical Group is hosting an online event looking at the ‘Metallurgical Impact of Minor Elements in Steel Welds,’ on 18 May 2021.
This Materials Technical event will look at how the properties of both steels and steel welds are influenced by multiple factors including considerations of how certain elements play greater roles. It will address how, in numerous circumstances, the effects of these impacts are understood and therefore used for positive effect, and yet, it will also look at how these mechanisms and trends can still be complicated, subsequently enabling pitfalls to occur.
The webinar will look at the elements in steel which are present in small quantities but can still have highly significant impacts, with these problems often only coming to light at the stage of weld procedure qualification, or worse, during the construction or service stages.
Overview of event:
- Introduction – Materials Technical Group Chair, Peter Boothby (FWeldI)
