Weld defects and failures—quantifying fitness-for-service: How finite element mathematical simulations can mitigate risk and...
Fatigue in welded steel components is often initiated by mechanical vibration, corrosion, and thermal cycling. Fitness-for-service analysis is the most viable step in determining the safety and financial risk factors related to component repair or replacement. This article shares insight about managing risk specific to weld failures.

The essential role of non-destructive testing in evaluating stainless steels and corrosion resistant alloys
Nondestructive testing (NDT) or nondestructive evaluation (NDE) encompasses a wide group of analysis techniques to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing any damage to the original material. Stainless Steel World Americas had the opportunity to speak with Ms. Ana Benz, a Chief Engineer who works out of IRISNDT’s Edmonton, Alberta location.
