About the Course
There will be a presentation on this subject covering the subjects in the web-training we will be reviewing the key features:
Cup and Cone (Ductile)
Brittle (perpendicular fracture)
Toughness
Links to Physical Metallurgy
Inter and trans granular fractures
Forces - engineering, stress and strain
This course will identify why specification and standards are important for identifying the metallurgical investigation process.
You will also participate in the following practical investigates:
Understanding the importance of record keeping, visual inspections and macro surface investigations.
You will use a low powered hand lens to carry out these inspections and group discussions on your findings.
Visual and Macro - Fracture and Macro Surfaces
You will investigate a sample of replica carbon fibre to identify fractures.
You will investigate three square macro section bars which have an internal defect.
As a team, you will identify the problem, why it has occurred and provide possible solutions.
Macro and Micro Examinations
You will use a metallurgical microscope, laptop and camera to review:
Macro @ 50 x 100
Micro @ 500 x 1300
Review micro sections with slag inclusion on wrought iron x 29 and carbon steel x 34
Benefits
This course highlights the benefit of working together, considering others' viewpoints to come to a conclusion.
You will benefit from having the educational theory coupled with practical work to demonstrate your understanding.
Through group practical investigations you will develop your own skills to communicate and be more "open-minded" to listen to others' views on their investigations.
You will make your conclusions based on your listening skills, the actual facts of your investigations and the data collected and learn not to rely on your feelings or opinions.
