Today, more than ever before, welded equipment must be
fabricated to provide long and reliable service even when exposed
to aggressive operating environments such as in arctic oil fields
and refineries, offshore platforms, pipelines, and advanced
chemical process and power plants. The key to success and avoidance
of problems, especially with new alloys intended for extremes at
high and low operating temperatures requires.
1. understanding the nature of potential in-service problems at
welds and heat affected zones2. selection of the right consumables
with adequate properties even during upset situations 3.
implementation of optimal welding procedures and post weld
treatments to meet target properties 4. inspection methods to
assure welding procedures delivered sound joints and desired
microstructures
Successful fabrication and satisfied customers action requires
attention to every detail from material and processing controls to
filler metal, preheat and welding parameter selection. You should
join WRC-EUROWELD-CWA and its team of internationally known welding
and fabrication specialists for the latest and best guidance. See
and hear about the state-of-the-art in welding technology to avoid
problems even in the most demanding service situations. You will
obtain up-to-date practical information needed for selection,
specification and economical fabrication of modern high performance
alloys from high molybdenum and duplex stainless steels and
nickel-base alloys to creep strength enhanced ferritic steels.
The Conference has been organized to bring to attendees industry
welding specialists involved in welding and construction of
process, refining, power and other equipment. The program of
authoritative speakers will report on the principles and latest
technologies needed to assure high quality products. There will be
ample time for questions at the end of each presentation session
and also for discussions with the speakers and other attendees
during two informal evening networking sessions. The venue of the
Conference is Edmonton Alberta at the newly renovated DoubleTree
West Edmonton Hotel. The Conference starts Tuesday morning of June
10th, 2014 and concludes at noon Thursday June 12th.
All Speakers and Attendees are Invited to a Networking Reception
Following the Tuesday and Wednesday Afternoon Sessions
Presentations will disclose how to avoid errors in consumable and
material selection and what welding procedures and thermal
processing to specify. Understand complex materials such as duplex
alloys and creep strength enhanced ferritic steels. Save money by
choosing the right alloy for the right job. The team of welding
specialists assembled by WRC-EUROWELD-CWA from industry for this
conference embodies a vast array of welding, service and research
experience that you can share. Topics range from process selection,
to PWHT to optimizing weld corrosion resistance and properties,
Each session will conclude with question and answer periods.
There will be a Networking Reception at the conclusion of the
afternoon sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday and group lunches on
Tuesday and Wednesday. A volume containing the presentations of the
speakers will be given to each attendee.
The meeting format will include opportunities for discussion and
problem solving as well as question-and-answer periods. Attendees
are encouraged to submit their questions in advance to
[email protected].
