ASM International, Materials Park, Ohio, announced a new education collaboration agreement with AQM, a primary technical services center in northern Italy. Through this new partnership, AQM is now an educational support location in Europe for ASM International. Starting this fall, multiple metallurgical blended and online courses are planned using the metallurgical laboratories and the metallography and the heat treatment schools of AQM and will be taught by ASM International instructors.
“We hope this partnership will help extend our global reach, fuel a passionate sense of community, energize members to aspire to new levels of success, and advance the development of materials,” said Thom Passek, managing director of ASM. “AQM has a similar mission and the goal of our collaboration is to ultimately elevate the importance of materials professions. European metallurgical students will be able to lower their costs of training by traveling to a local destination and we hope that provides an extra incentive to take a course with us.”
“AQM has always supported the training and growth of technical competence in the field of metallurgy, believing that this is one of the key factors for competitive growth of enterprises,” says Gabriele Ceselin, CEO of AQM. “This collaboration will provide an additional impulse in this direction, promoting an approach at the highest level, and the access to innovative international relations.”
Topics of the educational courses include:
- Metallurgy for Non-Metallurgist
- Practical interpretation of Microstructures
- Corrosion
- Principle of Failure Analysis
- Failure Analysis in the Oil and Gas Industry
-
Metallographic Interpretation
Students will receive a complimentary one year ASM International membership, allowing them to share ideas and solutions with other members about technologies and application processes while building personal and professional networks around the world. They will also have free access to online journals and technical publications, as well as access to special offers available only to members.
The new ASM International-AQM training offer is intended to complement and reinforce the AQM Expertise Center’s “Materials and Quality Control of Products,” which already has a full calendar of courses through the School of Metallography.
