Global Institute Webinar
Join us for a joint Technical Group 3 - Metallic Materials and Struers event.
Are you looking to elevate your lab's weld macro preparation, improve accuracy, and streamline your workflow?
This session is designed for lab managers, laboratory technicians, engineers preparing samples, quality control specialists, materials testing professionals, and production teams working with a range of materials.
This webinar will provide actionable insights to enhance your weld macro preparation methods across steel, aluminium, and titanium welds. You will gain comprehensive knowledge on:
- Best practices for preparing micro and macro welds across various material types
- Step-by-step guidance on cutting, mounting, grinding, and polishing – including when and how to apply each method
- Unlocking the benefits of different etching techniques for more accurate analysis
- Strategies for introducing shorter, more efficient preparation methods
- How to streamline processes to ensure consistency across all samples
- Ideal advice for those preparing welds for the Aerospace industry
Robert Shaw from TWI Ltd, a leading authority in welding technology, will also cover crucial aspects of weld macro analysis, including common inspection standards, likely flaws and their significance, and why accurate interpretation matters for critical decision-making.
Don't miss this opportunity to refine your lab's capabilities, ensure consistent results, and stay ahead in material analysis. Register today and take the first step towards optimized weld macro preparation.
Please note that this event is recorded.
Who should attend?

MEET THE SPEAKERS:
Robert Shaw
As one of TWI's arc-focused Welding Engineers, Rob has spent more than a decade developing, qualifying, and implementing welding processes and procedures for a range of companies in the nuclear, aerospace and defence industries.
A metallurgist by training, Rob has maintained an interest in the welding of more uncommon metals, including working with copper, titanium, and nickel alloys. This has included work on the production of new turbine blade alloys, and the complex safe end transition joints for nuclear power plants, as well as the more common steels for oil and gas or pressure vessel applications.
Michael Bell
Michael Bell has 12 years of experience perfecting sample methods for PhD students and training at the University of Sheffield and now is the Applications Specialist at Struers Ltd, where he brings his expertise to develop perfect preparation methods for Struers customers.
