Fundamentals of Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing

NSW Branch Training Workshop – Online

6 - 8 September 2023

Day 1: 2:00pm-6:00pm | Day 2: 2:00pm-6:00pm | Day 3: 9:00am-6:30pm AEST)

Metals and alloys are used in the greatest variety of applications of all engineering materials. As such it is essential for those involved in manufacturing, engineering, and construction to have an understanding of what metals (ferrous and non-ferrous) are, how they behave, and why they behave differently than ceramics, glass, and plastics. It is also important to understand how they can be made stronger, how they can be shaped by casting, forging, forming, and how these processes along with heat treatment can alter properties. This course provides important basic knowledge to those who are not metallurgists.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Metal Processing Personnel

Engineers who need to gain a better understanding of metals and alloys.

QA Managers

Heat Treating Operators & Managers

Component Designers

Technicians

Marketing, Technical Writers, Purchasers and individuals without a materials background who wish to better understand the role of materials science

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

Describe how metals and alloys are formed and why

Recognise how metals can be strengthened by alloying, cold-working, and heat treatment

Determine why metals and alloys are not behaving as expected and can be made to behave as needed

Choose what metal or alloy to use for its specific combinations of properties

Learn about the most common metal additive manufacturing methods
