Metallurgy for Non Metallurgists
Indicate your interest in attending
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.
As there are no courses for individuals currently scheduled, we encourage individuals to do the online ASM Metallurgy for Non-Metallurgists course as this is great for those looking to further their knowledge. The material has recently been enhanced with self-guided digital short courses added to related lessons. These additions feature enhanced visuals, narrated text and animations, and interactive quizzes to support learning. You will have a year to complete the course.

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
