Environmental Material Testing for Structural Integrity… We are pleased to announce Henryk Pisarski as a speaker at our upcoming TG6 Technical Group webinar, ‘Environmental Material Testing for Structural Integrity,’ on 5 November. He will be discussing ‘Using results from environmental testing for structural integrity assessment’. Henryk Pisarski has worked for TWI Ltd for over 40 years dealing with structural integrity of welded structures. He was primarily involved in fracture toughness testing and the application of fracture mechanics methods to ensure the safe operation of welded components. These included pipelines, pressure vessels, ships, bridges, offshore structures etc. Currently he chairs the BSI committee ise/101/04 which deals with fracture toughness testing. He is also a member of the ISO committee which is concerned with the same subject and a member of BSI committee WEE37 which is responsible for the defect assessment guidance document BS7910, and chairs the material properties panel (WEE37/-/7). 🌐 Discover more: https://lnkd.in/ebZZ2-d4 #StructuralIntegrity #EnviornmentalTesting #Environmental | TWI

❗ Last week we hosted our Professional Members’ Day: Hydrogen for Power - Materials Behaviour and Associated Challenges here at TWI Abington.

Additive Manufacture of High Integrity Components…   We are pleased to announce Supriyo Ganguly as a speaker at our upcoming TG2 Technical Group event, which will explore, ‘Additive Manufacture of High Integrity Components,’ on 24 October. He will be discussing ‘Research review on fatigue crack propagation of wire plus arc additive manufactured steel components under different service conditions’. Supriyo is a metallurgist, and currently his research interest focuses on understanding the integrity of structural and functional alloy deposits during metal additive manufacturing and welding. Welding, repair welding and additive manufacturing are the vital technologies being researched for sustainable manufacturing. However, the thermal energy deployed would result in creation of a dendritic microstructure with variably distributed residual stress field. Supriyo focuses on understanding the underpinning mechanism of microstructure and stress development during manufacturing of an alloy and how to mitigate them to improve integrity and performance under critical and complex service environment.   🌐 Discover more: https://lnkd.in/eTrCQPnk   #AdditiveManufacturing #Components #Welding #Joinery | TWI
