Metallurgy for Non-Metallurgists - Virtual Learning
Course Methodology
This training course combines presentations and discussions of topics covered with relevant examples. It combines knowledge of fundamental principles related to the structure of metals sound engineering principles, methods, and applicable standards and best industry practices and enforces learning with Question & Answer sessions to maximize the benefits to the participants.
Videos of relative manufacturing processes of metals will also be included.
Participants will be provided with comprehensive training course notes and copies of presentation material that will be very valuable for detailed study and future reference.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this training course, participants will have gained an understanding of the important principals of engineering involving properties and characteristics of metals and alloys, including fabrication and heat treatment of commercial steels and non-ferrous alloys.
Participants will acquire sufficient knowledge and skills to independently evaluate possible metallurgical and design solutions, to recognise crucial metallurgical phenomena and intelligently discuss their metal problems with design engineers, metallurgists and fabricators.
