About the Course
This course lecture will deliver the two presentations:
Effects of Carbon Content on Steel 1: Thermal Equilibrium Diagrams Normalising and Annealing in the morning
Effects of Carbon Content on Steel 2: Rapid Cooling and Tempering in the afternoon
Plus, you will examine actual micro-sections on samples by using a microscope
to review how longitudinal and transverse micro-sections changes in the morphology of the grain shape, size and micro-structures
to evaluate the effects of de-carbonisation at the surface
to study unetched and etched micro-sections which will assist in identifying non-metallic inclusions and other importance micro-structure features, which are lost in etching
to review the changes in the carbon content effecting structure and properties before, during and after in the heat treatment process
to study the micro-structural features of the material under magnification relating to the changes of mechanical properties and hardness
to examine how the effect of heating and cooling changes the micro-structure between the surface and the centre of the metal due to mass effect and ruling section
to identify with and what is micro-segregation effects on the micro-structure on the mechanical and hardness properties
During the lecture, there will be opportunities for questions and debates.
Benefits
You will investigate the changes in the microstructure of the increased carbon content, along with interpretation of the changes on heat treatment and the importance of micro segregation of carbon and non-metallic inclusions.
We will also examine the use of thermal equilibrium diagrams (TED) and their role.
