MINI-CURRÍCULO
Pedro Dolabella Portella received his Bachelor in Metallurgical Engineering at IME, the School of Engineering of the Brazilian Army in Rio de Janeiro. After nearly two more years at the foot of the Sugar Loaf he received his Master in Materials Engineering at the same institute. In 1984 he got his Dr.-Ing. degree in Erlangen, Germany, with a thesis on high-temperature creep of a Fe-Ni-Cr alloy. After a short stay at the Catholic University in Rio de Janeiro, PUC-RJ, he joined the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in Berlin, Germany, in 1987. Since 2000 he is the head of the Department “Materials Engineering”. According to the tradition of this institute, one of his concentration areas is failure analysis and prevention. In the period 2010-2011 he was the President of FEMS, the Federation of European Materials Societies. He is an Honorary Member of FEMS, of SPM, the Portuguese Society of Materials, and of SF2M, the French Society of Metals and Materials. In 2010 he received the August Wöhler Medal of DVM, the German Association for Materials Research and Testing, and the Robert Mitsche Award of ASMET, the Austrian Society for Metallurgy and Materials.
RESUMO:
The advent of the Industrial Revolution was accompanied by several accidents of dramatic dimensions. The analysis of these events was the fundament for the continuous improvement in the reliability of technical systems. In the year 1871 the Prussian state created a technical institution dedicated for this task – the origin of BAM. Failure analysis and prevention is until today a central objective of our institute; due to its complex nature an interdisciplinary task. In our talk we will present an overview of the activities of BAM in the area of failure analysis; especial attention will be given to the corrosion aspects in the analysis of these cases.
