Aims
This module aims to provide an understanding of the relationship properties - microstructure - processing for offshore structures and pipeline materials, and to introduce the offshore joining techniques, the corrosion mechanisms and to discuss the working practices of corrosion control in offshore industry.
Outline Of Syllabus
Properties and microstructure of steels and corrosion resistant alloys (CRA) used in the offshore and subsea industry.
Properties and manufacture of composite and non-metallic pipes.
Welding procedures for ferrous alloys and joining technology for composite materials.
Corrosion fundamentals, corrosion mechanisms and cathodic protection systems.

| Scheduled Learning And Teaching Activities | Lecture | 10 | 1:00 | 10:00 | Present-in-person |
| Scheduled Learning And Teaching Activities | Small group teaching | 1 | 2:00 | 2:00 | PIP - Practical session (metallography) |
| Guided Independent Study | Independent study | 1 | 58:00 | 58:00 | Review course notes and lecture materials |
| Total | 100:00 |
Teaching Rationale And Relationship
The lectures are designed to assist students in the acquisition of a knowledge base that will facilitate understanding
of processes, concepts and analysis methods. The practical sessions are supervised activities in which the students apply the knowledge that they gain during formal lectures and private study to analyse the microstructure and behaviour of materials used in offshore applications.
Private study involves:
1. directed study following lectures;
2. directed study in preparation for the assessment, which provides an opportunity to bring together relevant
knowledge and understanding and cognitive, research-related, and assessed key skills.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Other Assessment
| Description | Semester | When Set | Percentage | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Report | 2 | M | 100 | Technical Report (approx 2500 words) |
Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer assessment | 2 | M | Canvas quizzes with feedback, throughout the module |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The report provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and the possession of subject-specific, cognitive, and key skills. This medium also allows students to demonstrate intended learning outcomes across a wide range of topics within the syllabus.
