This authoritative course teaches you the fundamentals of heat treating ferrous and nonferrous metals and alloys. This course is specifically designed for people who want a basic understanding of heat treating. In this course you examine all the fundamental metallurgical aspects of heat treating -- everything from microstructural changes brought about by heat treating and their effects on properties of the material, to use of cooling curves to predict proper heat treating time and temperature control used to evaluate resulting changes in alloy structure and properties.
This course is packed with valuable information that you can apply to increase product quality and productivity and at the same time reduce costs.
1. General Aspects of Heat Treatment: principles, properties and microstructure, normalising, annealing, hardening, tempering.
2. Steel and Its Mechanical Properties: what is steel, properties, how these properties are measured, elasticity, plasticity, tensile testing.
3. Microstructure and Mechanical Properties: constitution of steel, effect of alloying elements and heat treatment, transformation temperatures.
4. Austenite and Its Transformation and Classification of Steels: relationship between structure of steel and its mechanical properties, two basic methods of controlling structure.
5. Annealing and Normalising of Steel: the annealing of steel, the procedures for controlling structure, problems of scaling, decarburisation, normalising.
6. Hardening of Steel: proper hardening processes, quenching, hardening principles.
7. Hardness and Hardenability: continues the discussion of hardness and the factors involved, hardenability tests, application of hardenability data.
8. Factors Affecting Hardness and Hardenability: detailed effects of carbon, alloying, quenching, dissolved gases, surface condition, agitation.
9. Tempering of Steel: its three stages, effect of temperature, time, composition and structure on properties, precipitation effects on tempering.
10. Surface Hardening: flame, induction hardening methods, reactions and effects of carburising, discussion of miscellaneous surface hardening methods.
11. Austenite Grain Size - Its Control and Effects: formation of coarse grained and fine grained steels, methods of determining austenite grain size.
12. Heat Treatment of Cast Iron: classification and constitution of cast iron, factors affecting graphitisation.
13. Heat Treatment of Tool Steels: water hardening, shock resisting, non-deforming, hot work and high speed steels, types and characteristics of tool steels.
14. Constitution and Heat Treatment of Stainless Steels: martensitic, ferritic, austenitic, precipitation hardening stainless steels.
15. Heat Treatment of Nonferrous Metals and Alloys: annealing and recrystallisation, cold work, phase diagrams, mechanical properties, heat treatment.
This course is primarily intended for people who are new to heat treating or for those who want a state-of-the-art update on heat treating. It is also designed for technicians, and for people in sales or management who want a better understanding of heat treating fundamentals.
It is recommended that students enrolling in this course complete Elements of Metallurgy, or have an equivalent educational background.
