Dr. Erhan Ulvan will be giving a 2 day seminar on Physical Metallurgy for Steels and Stainless Steels, Structure and Corrosion Characteristics.
This training will help to build a foundation of materials engineering concepts that allow the participant to be able to better understand the characteristics and behavior of ferrous metals for structural and corrosion service environments. If you had a metallurgy class, it will be a good review, and you will likely learn a few new things about which stainless steels to use in which types of environments.
Dr. Erhan Ulvan obtained his BSc and MSc in Metallurgical Engineering at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey and PhD. in Materials Engineering at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Erhan has broad experience with materials engineering and manufacturing, including: failure analysis of industrial components, metal forming, forging, low and high pressure die casting, heat treatment, metal fabrication, reverse engineering and corrosion control measures. Erhan is qualified by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice as an expert witness. He has extensive knowledge on joining of major alloy types, destructive and non-destructive testing methods, visual examination and codes and standards including ASTM, ASME sections II, VIII and ASME FFS-1.
Dr. Ulvan has been involved in failure analysis and consulting in Metallurgical Engineering aspects since 1983. He has completed numerous failure analysis projects since then. He is the Past President of the Failure Analysis Society of ASM International, Past Chair of Canada Council of ASM International, Past Chair of Ontario Chapter of ASM International, Past Treasurer of Oakville Chapter of Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO), and board member of CIM Hamilton Branch. He received Prof. Brian Ives Lectureship Award in 2012 and Fellowship of ASM International in 2018. He regularly presents papers related to failure analysis and chairs sessions at international conferences.
