Two-day course
This comprehensive program will provide you with a basic understanding of the properties of metals and their alloys as well as an introduction to the science of forming alloys. In addition, common manufacturing flaws and the modes of common failure of engineering alloys will be introduced, allowing you to identify processes and techniques that will help you improve your product quality and reliability. Demonstrations and real-world examples are used to amplify key points in the program.
Fabricators, design engineers, quality control personnel, supervisors, steel buyers, inspection technicians
