Examination of a Single Column Pantograph Disconnection Failure

In this presentation, Roger Costanzi discusses a tubular aluminium single column pantograph disconnecting arm from an 82kV disconnector, that was received for examination following failure adjacent to the weld joining the tubular arm to a clevis. Failure of the disconnector arm was a result of exfoliation corrosion arising from the formation of precipitates in the weld heat affected zone (HAZ) joining the extruded tubes to a cast aluminium alloy clevis.

Stress Corrosion Cracking of Cable Bolts

In this presentation, Judy Turnbull addresses the results of the examination of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of both smooth surface and ribbed wires used in cable bolts. Judy Turnbull is a consultant Metallurgist with Bureau Veritas, undertaking component failure investigations. She has held this role since 2013. Judy has more than 30 years of experience in the engineering field, having worked in heavy engineering, hard rock mining, concrete, oil & gas and pipeline inspection as well as information technology.

Initial Corrosion Behaviour of Spheroidal Graphite Cast Iron and Rust Evaluation in Atmospheric Environment

For the initial corrosion behaviour of spheroidal graphite cast iron in atmospheric corrosion environment, it is quite different from that of carbon steel and weathering steel. This study focused on the initial corrosion behaviours affected by the graphite and Cu in the spheroidal graphite cast iron, the atmospheric exposure test and wet-dry cyclic test were conducted. This presentation from Ichiro Dote, was given at the 2021 Corrosion and Prevention Conference. Ichiro Dote has studied in the Department of Civil Engineering, at Kyushu University as a working doctor from 2018. Where his major field of study is atmospheric corrosion of cast iron. Right now, he is living in Fukuoka, Japan.

Corrosion Challenges for Famous Structures

This webinar features speakers discussing some of the key challenges that corrosion can present and the methods that can be used to protect key structures. Organised by the ACA VIC Branch, discussions include the work undertaken to prevent the degradation of iconic Australian landmarks including Laser Cleaning using powerful ultrashort Pulse lasers of the Sydney Harbour Bridge from Dr. Ludovic Rapp (Laser Physics Centre - Australian National University and CP based Repair of the Sydney Opera House from Ian Godson (Infracorr).

MILES of PILES: A Symposium on the Care and Maintenance of Marine Piles

The marine environment is one of the harshest settings in terms of causing the corrosion of metal structures and components. The webinar organised by the Victorian Branch of the Australasian Corrosion Association focuses on marine coatings and technology to minimise problems caused by the corrosion of marine structures. We heard from three leading industry experts, Peter Dove (GHD), Kyle Fortune (Denso) and David Anderson (UCC) on issues and recent advances in this important area.

Brian Cherry Award Forum – 2020 Recap and Recordings

The Brian Cherry Awards aim is to recognise excellence in post graduate / student research in corrosion. This year the event, moved online and expanded to allow entry for all Australasian students. Run over two seperate Webinars in November, the Forum was a highlight of the ACA's online offerings for 2020 and featured some tremendous presentations from our competitors. You can read all about the forum and if you're an ACA member, sign in to watch a recording of each event.

SEAM Seminar Series: Surface Engineering

Surface engineering is a sub-discipline of material science with applications in many industries including mining, oil & gas, steel, agriculture, automotive, etc. If a material degrades over time, it always starts from the surface as a result of interaction with the environment, causing wear and corrosion. Surface engineering processes in combination with smart material choices can significantly extend a components service life. Thus, saving resources, time and money.

Corrosion Careers – Keeping Up-to-date with Industry

The Young Corrosion Group (YCG) invited all interested parties to their first online event for 2020. The YCG is a dedicated membership group for the Australasian Corrosion Association Inc. that aims to assist those new to the corrosion industry by providing networking, support and professional development opportunities. YCG activities are targeted at anyone who is new to the Corrosion Industry, and or under 35 years of age across all ACA industry segments (including Academic, Asset Owners, Consultants, Contractors, Suppliers, Students).

RT Radiography for Detection of CUI

CUI can be extremely difficult to detect, with insulation and cladding often masking corrosion and traditional methods, such as visual inspection through the removal of cladding and insulation can be time-consuming. Often the true extent of corrosion is not realised until too late, incurring substantial costs and productivity losses for operators. Radiography offers a safe, timely and cost-effective solution for the detection of CUI. The Oil and Gas Technical group of the ACA were fortunate to be joined by John Forlani (KAEFER Integrated Services) who shared some of his expertise with this method with us and discussed some of the key benefits of RT Radiography.

The Importance of Concrete Surface Preparation

The third and final of the ACA and ACRA series of joint webinar presentations on Silicosis and its prevention. Adequate surface preparation is the key to successful concrete repair and concrete protection projects. Inadequate surface preparation often leads to the failure of the repair or coating necessitating further re-work, incurring added expense, facility operational downtime and compromised integrity of the remediation and protection works.

Non-Destructive Testing Methods

The VIC branch of the ACA and the Australian Institute for Non-Destructive Testing presented this webinar on Non-Destructive Testing given by Glen Haberl (AICIS Pty Ltd) (Prerecorded). The presentation consists of three parts. The first reviewing conventional Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods including Visual testing (VT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), Eddy current testing (ET), Ultrasonic testing (UT) and radiographic testing (RT).
