STRESS RELIEF CRACKING Meeting

A new project was launched recently within Ma2JIC to explore the stress relief cracking behavior of high temperature alloys used in power generation applications.  This is a joint project between Lehigh and OSU that is being funded by EPRI, B&W, Petrobras, and Lincoln Electric. This meeting will review progress made to date on testing of alloys 617, 740H, 230, 282, 347H, T23, and 22V

3:00-4:30pm

OIL & GAS Meeting

The objective of the Oil and Gas Meeting is to briefly review the progress in all current Ma2JIC O&G projects, to discuss the results from the survey on O & G project topics of joint interest, and discuss new project ideas.

 

 

Day 3: Thursday, August 13, 2015

9:00-12:00pm

PETROBRAS PROJECT MEETING

The objective of the Petrobras Project Meeting is to provide an update and discuss the results of this project, make a decision on welding consumables and welding process selection, and update the work plan on process development, mechanical and weldability testing.
