Service conditions are increasingly demanding in many sectors. For a range of high integrity applications, including nuclear decommissioning and construction, stainless steel can often provide a cost-effective material solution. However, a good understanding of the range of stainless steel grades, their suitability for particular environments and how to fabricate with them is vital to ensure the ideal outcome for the client.

This workshop will provide a thorough introduction to fabricating with stainless steel. It aims to provide an understanding of the relationship between material composition and properties, and to cover good design, fabrication and workshop practice through to finishing and inspection.

Workshop objectives:

- To promote good design and fabrication in stainless steel
- To highlight, with examples, what can be achieved by applying the best practice
- To assist companies already working in or entering the nuclear decommissioning supply chain
- To provide an introduction to development and support services

Benefits of attending:

- Confidence in specifying, buying and fabricating stainless steel, and in using and operating stainless steel structures and equipment
- An understanding of how to avoid the pitfalls in stainless steel design and fabrication
- Access to regional technical and business support

Who should attend:

This workshop will be of value to those involved in stainless steel fabrication, especially engineers and managers responsible for owning, designing and manufacturing stainless steel products and structures.

The workshop will be open for registration at 8.30am and the programme concludes at 3.30pm.
