Success for first P91 and other high Cr steels course!

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)!
