MAMAS 2020

Following the successful inaugural event in 2018, the Western Australia Branch of Materials Australia (the Materials Society of Engineers Australia) and the AINDT are proud to host this event, for the second time in Bunbury, after many delegates indicated that they would like to attend future events in the region. This regional technical seminar represents recent and relevant advancements in materials and maintenance practices in various industries active in the South West of Western Australia.

The successful application of materials and maintenance programs to plant and equipment is critical to the optimisation of an asset life cycle. The life extension of mining, processing and infrastructure assets is critical in the current industry environment. Within this, the performance of materials, during ever increasing extended maintenance periods, is a major component. Maintenance based technologies continue to evolve, and their interplay with advanced materials will be presented and discussed. This is a great opportunity to learn from real industry case studies, and to hear from a number of West Australian experts, including local experts, at this exclusive event.

As a specialist corrosion engineer, holding both a Masters and PhD in Corrosion Science and Engineering, Dr Peter Farinha has been involved in identification and problem solving of corrosion related issues in steel corrosion and reinforced concrete, including inspection, identification, failure analysis, materials selections, coatings, specification and repair methodology, for over 30 years. He is a specialist in microbiological corrosion, heavily involved in ALWC and he has published broadly.

The seminar will be preceded by a Golf Day at the Capel Golf Course. Tee off will be at 1:00pm, Ambrose rules will apply. You can register as an individual (and be allocated onto a team) or as a team of four. The cost will be: $80 per person or $320 for a team of four.

The seminar will be followed by a Plant Visit to the Geographe facilities in Bunbury. Delegates will be transported by bus from the Dolphin Discovery Centre to the Geographe facilities at 2:30pm, returning at 4pm. Geographe has recently commissioned three new manufacturing cells and facilities, all of which will be available for demonstration on the day.
