COURSE TITLE: Fundamentals of Gas Cutting and Welding
COURSE NO: D06-002
COURSE PROVIDER: A. Bhatia
Fundamentals of Gas Cutting and Welding
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides understanding of oxy-acetylene welding and cutting, as well as safety practices.

 

The oxy-fuel method of welding and cutting metals has tremendous power of creating, repairing and destroying the work of man. Oxy-fuel process uses heat created by combustion of fuel (most commonly acetylene) to melt the base material. In case of welding, two parts are brought to a molten condition along the line to be joined and fused together. Whereas in cutting, one piece of metal, when brought to a red heat is cut in two by an oxidizing flame. Oxy-acetylene cutting can be used to cut thicknesses from 2/8″ to up to 12″.

 

The oxy-acetylene process is extremely versatile and can be used for welding, cutting, heating, soldering and brazing. It can be used on any thickness of metal, however the operation can be difficult to master, and there are some serious safety issues owing to the extreme flammability of acetylene and the high pressure of the gas cylinders.

 

This 6 PDH online course is intended for industrial engineers, plant operators and managers, facility workers and supervisors, maintenance personnel and anyone who has to operate oxy-acetylene/propane cutting equipment for use in the repair and maintenance of plant and equipment.

COURSE TITLE: Material Properties and Corrosion
COURSE NO: T06-001
COURSE PROVIDER: A. Bhatia
Material Properties and Corrosion
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course discusses the properties and behavior of materials, including stress and strain, thermal expansion, ductility, brittleness, creep, fatigue failure and more.

 

The purpose of this course is to briefly introduce several material properties and failure modes. A better understanding of these failure mechanisms will enable more appropriate decisions when selecting materials for a particular application. Even a basic knowledge and awareness can help design engineers to be better equipped in delaying or preventing the failure of a material or component.

 

Some general causes for failure are structural loading, wear, corrosion, and latent defects. Because most engineering materials contain discontinuities most metal fatigue cracks initiate from discontinuities in highly stressed regions of the component. Failure can occur in systems with moving or non-moving parts. In systems with moving parts, friction often leads to material degradation such as wear, and collisions between two components can result in surface or more extensive material damage. Systems with non-moving parts are also prone to material failure, especially when certain types of materials operate over a broad range of pressures and are subjected to extreme temperature changes or to high energy radiation environments.

 

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical, nuclear and industrial engineers, design professionals, facility managers and operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the properties and corrosion of material.

Learning Objectives

This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Understanding the terms as they relate to materials: mechanical stress and strain, hoop stress, thermal expansion, differential thermal expansion, thermal shock & residual stress
  • Understanding factors which cause mechanical and thermal stress in a component and the consequences of exceeding stress limits in materials
  • Understanding why heating and cool down rates are limited
  • Defining the following properties of materials: ductility, brittleness & nil-ductility transition
  • Learning the differences between ductile and brittle fracture
  • Understanding why a material exhibiting a ductile/brittle transition temperature has operating limitations with respect to temperature
  • Learning about creep as it relates to materials
  • Understanding why a large shaft becomes deformed when at rest and why rolling a large shaft prior to operation reduces the deformation
  • Understanding fatigue failure and work hardening
  • Learning about the chemically induced damage to a material subjected to corrosive environment
  • Understanding the effects of radiation on common materials such as metals, plastics and alloys
