This course will maximise your understanding by examining what the different influences of chemical compositions, mechanical deformation and the types of heat treatment affect steel.

The course will provide the delegate with theory, knowledge and application with hands-on experience by reviewing the presentation and examining the metal samples. You will undertake visual, macro examinations and understand the importance of record keeping your analysis data which you will have gathered during your investigations in this lecture.

If you have not considered why there is a need to follow a metallurgical process route or method to solve metallography problems and failures, then this course will reinforce the need.

If you simply want to gain new knowledge and skills to complement skills in your workplace to undertake metallurgical investigations, then this is a good starting point.

The skills learnt on this course are transferrable to your workplace.

This is virtual 'live' interactive lecture on the Introduction to Metallography and part of a series of lectures.

It is a very practical subject and the series of presentations will provide you with an appreciation of the power of metallography.

The course will be supported by videos, presentation introducing visual, macro and micro techniques. This will be a small group so that discussions can take place with the lecturer at a manageable pace.
