NICKEL AND ITS ALLOYS
Nickel alloys are distinguished by their excellent qualities of resistance to corrosion and to different forms of degradation at high temperature together with the possibility of obtaining mechanical properties comparable to, and sometimes superior to, those of steel. For these reasons, they are increasingly used where operating conditions are so severe as to preclude the use of more traditional materials such as stainless steels. It is, in fact, relevant to note that nickel-based superalloys are currently by far the most widely used materials for the fabrication of components operating at high temperatures and subjected to significant mechanical stresses such as turbines in aircraft propulsion engines, power generation plants, and, more generally, the mechanical parts of high-performance engines.
Thus, this course aims to provide a detailed overview of nickel alloy metallurgy, related heat treatments, and processing and transformation technologies in order to master and manage the use of this family of metallic materials under the most appropriate conditions for various applications.
The course aims to:
DErecipients
The course is aimed at professionals working in industry, research, technical-commercial, Metallic Materials Testing Laboratories personnel and, more generally, figures related to Quality Control
