In this course you will learn steel metallurgy fundamentals. This includes the effects of carbon content and various heat treatments on steel microstructure and the effects of carbon content and microstructure on steel hardness, strength, and toughness. These are at the heart of understanding how to get the desired hardness, strength, and toughness in steel components. The course focuses on carbon and low-alloy steels, though many of the concepts also apply to tool steels.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
Explain the designation systems used for different steels.
Identify the carbon content in carbon and low-alloy steels based on their alloy designations.
Describe the common metallurgical phases and microstructures found in steels.
Explain the effects of different steel microstructures on steel strength and hardness
Explain how the iron-carbon phase diagram is used to predict the phases present in a steel.
Explain the effects of heat treatment temperature and time on steel microstructure
Who should attend?
The course is geared to non-metallurgists and covers practical concepts that apply to real-world situations.
The course is geared to design, quality, and manufacturing engineers involved with steel selection, specification, process development, supplier evaluation, and quality control.
Course Materials (included in purchase of course)
Digital course notes via ASME s Learning Hub
Course participants are expected to have:
Computer, internet connection
A Certificate of Completion will be issued to registrants who successfully complete the course by achieving a passing score of 70% or higher on the final exam.
