Who Should Attend?

This comprehensive metallurgy course has been expert-designed for the non-metallurgist: component designers, operators, technicians and management. Taught by metals industry experts, this course will help you choose metals, alloys and processing solutions best suited for your production goals.

Why should you attend this course?

This course provides this important knowledge to those who are not metallurgists. You will gain an understanding of what metals are, how they behave, and why they behave differently than ceramics, glass, and plastics. You will also learn how metals can be made stronger or more corrosion resistant, how they can be shaped by casting, forging, forming, machining, or welding, and how these processes can alter properties.

Learning Objectives

Desired skills obtained, upon course completion include:1) Describe how and why metals behave and form, 2) Recognize how metals can be strengthened by alloying, cold-working, and heat treatment, 3) Determine why metals and alloys are not behaving as expected and can be made to behave as needed and 4) Select the specific metal/alloy to use for explicit combinations of properties.
