EDUCATION:

  1. Electronic Engineering College (Industrial Technical Institute “A. Malignani” – Udine) 1985-1990
  2. Faculty of Philosophical Studies (University of Trieste), 3-year attendance 1990-1993

TRAINING COURSES:

Every year I attend professional refresher courses on topics related to metallurgy and welding. Recently I attended the following courses at the AIM (Italian Metallurgic Institute):

  1. Heat Treatment on steel works, forging, and no ferrous materials;
  2. Metallurgy of Forgings;
  3. Alloy steel for high-temperature Cr, Mo (Creep);
  4. Metallurgy and Corrosion on Stainless Steel materials;
  5. Artistic cast iron, recovery, and repair procedure
  6. Duplex/Super Duplex plate, forging and welding.

Planned for the current year a training course on Metallurgy/weldability of Ni Alloy.

COLLABORATIONS:

  1. Starting from 2008 I’m working as a teacher in secondary schools (ITS Malignani) and in technical training courses as a welding/metallurgic specialist.
  2. IIS Istituto Italiano Saldatura (Italian Istitute of Welding) as Welding Inspector
  3. Udine Courthouse as Welding Technical Consultant (since 2006)
