Metallurgy of Steel: Principles PD261326ON

Getting the strength and hardness you need in your steel requires knowledge of the effects of alloy composition and heat treating on steel properties. With knowledge of steel metallurgy you’ll be better able to:

• Select the most appropriate alloy and heat treating process for your application
• Evaluate suppliers
• Develop manufacturing processes
• Solve quality problems

A good understanding of what can be done to modify the properties of steel is critical for being more productive and profitable.

Objectives

The following aspects of steel metallurgy are taught in this course:

• Steel types & designations used for the different categories of steel alloys
• Metallurgical phases and microstructures found in steels and their effects on steel strength and hardness
• How to use the iron-carbon phase diagram to predict the phases present in a steel alloy based on composition and temperature
• Microstructure changes that occur in steel during heating and cooling and the resulting effects on strength and hardness
• Effects of cooling rate on the microstructure that forms when steel is quenched during through hardening heat treatment

Materials Provided

• 90 days of single-user access (from date of purchase) to the three hour presentation
• Integrated knowledge checks to reinforce key concepts
• Course workbook (.pdf, dowloadable)
• Certificate of Completion (upon completion of all course content and a score of 70% or higher on the learning assessment)
