This course is for European and Middle Eastern countries.

Learn to Recognize Fracture Features

When a part fails, its fracture surface contains evidence as to how it failed. This online course introduces how to interpret mechanical fracture features. Attendees will learn to recognize ductile, brittle and fatigue features plus how to apply this to a failure analysis investigation. Participants will use a workbook to practice and hone their skills on dozens of failures (see clip below).

Registration will end on October 17, three weeks before the course date. This gives time for the course package to be mailed from Canada. Must have an European or Middle Eastern mailing address to receive the course package.

One Day Course (8 hours), $535 USD/participant. Course in English.

Topics Covered:

1. Introduction - learning the most from failed parts
2. Ductile Overload
3. Brittle Fracture
4. Fatigue Failures
5. Practice Case Studies (simulated failure analyses)
6. Bolt and Fastener Failures

Who Should Attend:

Everyone dealing with metal equipment failures. Reliability, mechanical engineers, inspectors and metallurgists.

Course based upon the content covered in the book "Decoding Mechanical Failures". A copy comes with the course materials.
