This meeting brings together researchers and engineers to share advances in heat-resistant steels and high-temperature alloys. It covers long-term mechanical behavior, failure mechanisms, welding technologies, lifetime prediction, and characterization techniques, addressing the critical safety, reliability, and performance requirements for materials in extreme thermal applications.

Comprehensive course on pipeline defect assessment, combining theory and hands-on training. It covers corrosion, dents, cracks, weld defects, and repairs, and introduces fracture mechanics and hydrogen effects. Participants gain industry-standard skills to confidently evaluate defects and ensure pipeline integrity in real-world applications.

This practical course trains participants to conduct and evaluate standardized corrosion and coating tests in salt-spray environments in accordance with key ISO standards. Through theory and hands-on exercises, attendees learn brine preparation, chamber operation, cross-cut and adhesion testing, and systematic assessment of blistering, rusting, cracking, flaking, and delamination, including joint interpretation of problematic samples.

The course builds essential expertise in coatings, corrosion prevention, standards, materials interaction, and corrosion-protective design, combining theory with practical study. Successful candidates earn the FROSIO surface treatment inspector certificate, with the level aligned to their experience.

This comprehensive course covers the ISO 12944 standard for corrosion protection of steel structures with protective paint systems. Participants master sample preparation, test procedures, cyclic aging protocols, and systematic evaluation of coating performance. Emphasizing offshore and high-severity environments, the training includes hands-on practice in proper cutting techniques, progress monitoring, and collaborative assessment of challenging samples in real-world applications.
