Training in Materials Science

Swagelok^® Materials Science training courses teach you how to choose the right corrosion-resistant materials to help you keep your fluid systems leak-tight and operating efficiently. Through this course, you will learn which specific alloys resist corrosion and how they do it, how various materials behave, and how industry standards impact your material choice. Whether you are dealing with sour oil and gas fields or aggressive precursor chemicals for semiconductor manufacturing, a strong understanding of materials science is invaluable.

There are currently no courses available, but training can be arranged through your local authorized Swagelok sales and service center.

About the Course

Topics

• The principles of materials science, corrosion, and other factors affecting material properties
