TWI's first training course on low-alloy and high Cr steels (from 0.5% Cr to P91,
P91, P122 and X20) was held in Middlesbrough in October 2011.
The course was attended by welding engineers, materials engineers and welding inspectors
from the power and process sectors and covered a range of topics such as welding,
dissimilar welds, weld repairs, codes and standards issues, as well as a range of
case studies (and a few horror stories!). Following direct suggestions from the
attendees, the next course content will be extended to include T23, T24 and high
temperature stainless steels and Ni-alloys.
The course was delivered by Marcello Consonni, TWI Welding Engineer and by Gene
Mathers, a welding engineer who was involved in the very first P91 header welded
in Europe (see photo)!
