Heat Treating Instructor-Led Courses
Learn directly from an expert ASM instructor either virtually or in-person at ASM Headquarters in our state-of-the-art training labs and classrooms.
Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist
Metals and alloys are used in the greatest variety of applications of all engineering materials and drive your products success. That is why it’s crucial to have knowledge about what metals are, how they behave, and why they behave differently than ceramics, glass, and plastics. This course will provide you with essential knowledge about metallurgy and how to apply it your business or industry.
Your instructor will give you a comprehensive overview of technology, science and key concepts for the entire course. The sessions and discussion are very interactive and create an environment where questions are always welcome.
Virtual*
*This is a special 4 day offering over 2 weeks of Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist. Class time will be ASM’s standard 8:30 am – 4:30 pm ET.
Metallurgy of Welding and Joining
Welding metallurgy is a complex subject because it requires knowledge of materials, welding processes, design, and inspection. The Metallurgy of Welding and Joining course provides an excellent review of welding processes, welding of materials ranging from carbon steel to specialized alloys, guidelines for designing weldments to facilitate welding, and testing and inspecting welds to meet performance requirements.
Basics of Heat Treating
Heat treating is considered the least understood, but most integral part of the manufacturing processes. An efficient heat treating process reduces the overall manufacturing costs associated with energy use, scrap, re-work, and quality issues. Heat treating is critical for your business and industry.
The Basics of Heat Treating course provides an interactive approach to learning the basic elements associated with the heat treating of metals. The course includes a variety of real-life manufacturing situations for discussion. There is also an interactive question and answer sessions integrated throughout the course.
Hands-on activities and demonstrations are integrated throughout the course to help guide you. These activities will take place in a newly renovated and state-of-the-art lab and will focus on: hardness testing, steel hardening, tensile testing and impact testing, microstructures including a demo of the newly acquired SEM scope, and thermocouples.
Practical Heat Treating
Practical Heat Treating teaches the actual heat treating process or the “how” of heat treating. In this newly revised and updated course, you will learn the heat treatment processes of steels, cast iron, aluminum, and other nonferrous alloys, as well as what type of atmosphere is best for furnace operations for the safety of personnel and equipment. In addition, you will be able to recognize heat treating problems and establish quality control procedures. Personnel either directly or indirectly associated with heat treatment will benefit from attending this 3-day course.
HT, Microstructures & Performance of Carbon & Alloy Steels
Heat treated bar and forging steels remain the major material for parts (such as shafts, gears, bearing, fasteners, oil country tubulars, aircraft landing gear, tools of all sorts, and many other applications) manufactured for demanding applications that require high or ultra-high strength, high fatigue resistance, and /or high wear resistance, all combined with good levels of toughness and fracture resistance.
This course will review the phases that form in carbon and alloy steels and the modifications produced in the iron-carbon diagram by alloying and manufacture. Microstructures and the phase transformations by which they are produced in all phases of manufacture, from casting through quench and tempering, will be described and related to mechanical properties and performance, including fracture and potential embrittlement phenomena.
Heat Treating, Furnaces and Equipment
Heat treating is key to most manufacturing process, so the equipment used is just as important as the process itself. This course provides an overview of essential aspects associated with various furnace units used to heat treat metallic parts. For your benefit, the course will take place in the classroom as well as two guided factory tours. This will give you an inside view of the world of heat treating furnaces and equipment.
