Welding and Joining of Materials in Off-Shore and Energy Industry
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The energy security of the world is based on the attainment, transport, processing and use of energy from many types of natural sources. The processes of joining engineering materials are an inseparable part of the construction, modification and repair of structures used in two closely interrelated branches of industry: energy and off-shore. Designers and contractors face the challenges resulting from specific working conditions in these industry sectors: temperature, pressure, salinity, flows, gas, water, hydrocarbons and other aggressive media environments. Difficult operating conditions of the devices require the use of carefully selected materials, resistant to environmental destruction, and the use of advanced production processes that ensure the assumed properties of the construction elements. It should be emphasized that materials used in the energy and offshore industry are often characterized by specific properties resulting from a carefully planned and complex chemical composition and are subjected to treatment aimed at obtaining required properties. Additional challenges are associated with using a combination of different materials, e.g., for surfacing and dissimilar welded joints. The latest achievements of engineers and scientists in this field are still desired and sought after. The scope of this Topic mainly covers issues focused on assessing the influence of the environment and technology on the behavior of materials. The purpose of the topic is to collect and present the current state of knowledge in the field of construction, modification and repair of structures operated in the off-shore and energy industries. We encourage Authors to submit manuscripts related to a wide range of topics described by the keywords below.
