The wrong material shows up as a failure long after the design is signed off, so selecting it well is core engineering. This course covers the properties that matter, how to match a material to service and load, and how components fail when the choice or the duty is wrong. Delegates leave able to justify a material choice and read a failure.

Repeat failures are expensive, and most of them are preventable once the real cause is understood.
A shutdown that overruns costs production, credibility and budget, usually in that order.
