Corrosion
Corrosion occurs in all industries from automotive and aerospace to infrastructure, construction, petroleum, power, paper making, food processing, bio-engineering, and pharmaceuticals. Corrosion is costly, dangerous, wasteful, and unsightly. It can be predicted, controlled, and even avoided. This class presents an overview of the eight major corrosion processes and related corrosion monitoring, prediction and control mechanisms. The principles discussed are applicable to all metals. Emphasis is on practical applications of corrosion technology to industrial corrosion problems.

Introduction to Metallography
Basic techniques commonly used in a Metallurgical Laboratory will be taught in this class. You will become familiar with metallography by sectioning, mounting, grinding, polishing and etching samples. These samples will be examined and photomicrographs obtained by using optical microscopes equipped with digital cameras. Various microhardness equipment will be used to demonstrate the strengths and limitations of the tests. Basic principles and sample demonstration on the use of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) will be covered. Hands on testing complimented by lectures on the basics of the tests will give a thorough overview of these procedures. This is the course you need if you learn by doing and could use an overview of Metallographic Lab procedures.

Practical Fracture Mechanics
This course provides a practical understanding of fracture mechanics principles through a combination of lecture and problem solving activities. Design and failure analysis for monotonic and cyclic loaded components will be covered. Take away a new understanding of topics such as fracture toughness testing, ductile fracture testing, stress corrosion cracking and fatigue failure. Linear and non-linear fracture mechanic concepts and methods appropriate for a given loading or failure mode will be applied to make sense of this sometimes confusing discipline.

Practical Fractography
This course provides a practical understanding of fractography through a combination of lectures and hands-on experience. Theory and examples presented in the lectures are reinforced by macro and micro examination of failed parts in the lab. Visual examination, as well as stereo microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, will be utilized to interpret example fractures. Improve your skills in this vital portion of most failure examinations.

Principles of Failure Analysis
This lecture course is designed to provide the knowledge to bridge the gap between theory and practice of failure analysis. This course presents a very practical approach to failure analysis for those who are new to the field or those who want an update. It is also designed for technicians with the pre-requisites and those interested in understanding how knowledge of failure analysis can lead to better productivity. Causes of fractures are explained with diagrams of stress application and distribution. Many case histories of failures and their elimination are highlighted throughout the course.

Scanning Electron Microscopy
In collaboration with Zeiss, ASM presents this course on basic scanning electron microscopy (SEM) operation. Learners will complete the online course prior to attending onsite training at ASM Laboratories. The online course material presents necessary theory and operating principles and imaging and analytical techniques. Lab time will be held in small groups of 1-3 attendees in the ASM Microscopy Lab using the EVO LS15 SEM and a Bruker energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) for fast elemental mapping and inclusion analysis. Students are encouraged to bring their own samples.
