New Valve Metallurgy Course!

BVAA, in conjunction with our partners at the renowned Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) Training Centre, are launching a one-day course on ‘Valve Metallurgy - for non-Metallurgists.’

To be delivered at the BVAA HQ at Banbury, UK, on the 12th November 2013, the course gives a technical insight into the technology of valve manufacture. It reviews metal and alloy options for all components in a typical valve design and explains the manufacturing processes, including casting, forging, heat treatment, machining and surface coatings. Key considerations are optimisation of in-service performance consistent with manufacturing and financial constraints and compliance with industry standards and specifications. There is a strong emphasis on Oil & Gas.

Places are available at just £395+vat BVAA members, £450+vat non-members. BVAA hopes to roll out more metallurgy-based courses in the near future, on topics such as introductions to castings, applications involving stainless steels, etc.
