Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist® Midlands Technical College, November 12 - 15, 2018
November 12, 2018 - November 15, 2018
Columbia, South Carolina, 29203, USA
Instructor: Mr. George D. Neale MS, PE

HT, Microstructures and Performance Carbon Steel Alloys, November 13-15, 2018
November 13, 2018 - November 15, 2018
Novelty, OH, 44073-0002, USA
Instructor: Dr. Dana Medlin
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.

Aluminum and Its Alloys, November 13-15, 2018
November 13, 2018 - November 15, 2018
Novelty, OH, 44073-0002, USA
Instructor: Dr. Kevin Anderson PhD, FASM
Aluminum is a widely used metal that is playing an increasingly dominant role in the green economy. Aluminum's high strength to weight ratio, low cost, recycle ability, and other positive attributes are some of the reasons that aluminum is being adopted as a material of choice by weight conscious component engineers. This class uses hundreds of hands - on, real - world aluminum components and metallurgical samples to illustrate concepts in the text. Aluminum literature is also provided as a valuable resource for people working with aluminum and aluminum alloy products. Students are encouraged to bring questions and their real-world problems to class for discussion and resolution. This is the ideal class for someone who will be actively working with the many diverse aspects of aluminum technology.

Practical Induction Heat Treating, November 27-29, 2018
November 27, 2018 - November 29, 2018
Novelty, OH, 44073-0002, USA
Instructor: Marv McKimpson
Taking a fundamentals approach, this course is presented as an introduction to the world of induction heat treating. The course will cover the role of induction heating in producing reliable products, as well as the considerable savings in energy, labor, space, and time it has. You will learn in-depth on topics such as selecting equipment, designs of multiple systems, current application, and sources and solutions of induction heat treating problems.

Practical Fractography, November 27-28, 2018
November 27, 2018 - November 28, 2018
Novelty, OH, 44073-0002, USA
Instructor: Mr. Dave Christie
This course provides a practical understanding of fractography through a combination of lecture 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.

Practical Fracture Mechanics, November 29-30, 2018
November 29, 2018 - November 30, 2018
Novelty, OH, 44073-0002, USA
Instructor: Dr. John Landes, PhD
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.

Metallographic Techniques, December 3-6, 2018
December 03, 2018 - December 06, 2018
Novelty, OH, 44073-0002, USA
Instructor: Mr. John Peppler
During this course, participants receive intensive instruction and assistance in learning the principles of metallography. Manual preparation, automatic preparation, and hands-on activities, such as preparing a variety of hard, soft, ferrous, and non-ferrous alloys, are used to demonstrate many metallographic techniques.

Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist®, December 4-6, 2018
December 04, 2018 - December 06, 2018
Novelty, OH, 44073-0002, USA
Instructor: Dr. McIntyre. R. Louthan, Jr, FASM
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.

Mechanical Testing of Metals, December 10-13, 2018
December 10, 2018 - December 13, 2018
Novelty, OH, 44073-0002, USA
Instructor: Mr. William L. Mankins, FASM
This is a hands-on introduction to standard mechanical testing and the properties derived from those tests, together with a discussion of testing philosophy to determine suitability for service and suitability for manufacture. Standardized testing procedures (ASTM, SAE, AWWA, etc.) are discussed, including limitations of a test, why specific requirements are present in the test procedure, and interpretation of experimental results. There is discussion of how metallurgical variables can affect test results, and how microstructure can affect selection of a given testing procedure. (For example, hardness testing of wrought vs. cast material.) This course is taught at a level that requires some algebraic manipulation as well as the use of logarithms. Students are required to bring a scientific calculator.
