WHERE and WHEN:This FREE webinar will be of one and a half hours duration including half an hour for questions and discussion. It will be held on four separate occasions to accommodate the four different regions of the globe: The Americas; Africa and Europe; Indian sub-continent; Asia and Australasia.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Designers, structural engineers, consultant engineers, mechanical engineers, welding and production engineers, maintenance and quality control engineers, as well as researchers. Delegates are encouraged to bring along their problems to contribute to discussions and local case studies.
WHAT INDUSTRY AREAS THE WEBINAR IS RELEVANT FOR?
The webinar will be especially relevant to all professionals in automotive, aerospace, steel construction, steel bridge design, power generation, naval and shipbuilding, offshore construction, pipeline and other industries that apply welding and additive manufacturing.
OPAL Research Reactor at ANSTO
The OPAL research reactor at ANSTO has several instruments available for materials science and engineering applications.
The instruments have a unique non-destructive ability to determine critical imperfections, assist performance of engineering apparatus via radiography and tomography, measure internal residual stresses and textures in crystalline materials, such as metals, alloys, ceramics, and composites.
These measurements can be carried out on real engineering components, mock-ups, or test samples with minimal preparation. This information provides direct impact into optimization of modern manufacturing processes, improved product reliability, enhanced design performance, reduced production cost, and extended life prediction on significant engineering assets.
The versatile team at ANSTO has established a strong record in assisting Australian and international researchers and engineers across a wide range of engineering projects. The newly developed Australian Stress Engineering and the Solid-State Manufacturing Centres, and a Node of Sovereign Manufacturing Automation for Composite (SoMAC CRC) at the University of Sydney are building on this experience and collaboration. Support and advice is available to industry as well as academia on manufacturing, characterisation and assessments of welding, additive manufacturing and composites.
