Testimonial
I attended the Introduction to Practical Metallography course led by Richard Brown, which really opened my eyes to the importance of Metallography, and how various techniques can be used to extract necessary data from your sample pieces. Overall the course was great and Richard is a brilliant tutor. I hope to attend more courses with M+C to further expand my knowledge.

Day 1 - This course is the first from the set of 3
Introduction to Practical Metallography & Investigations
You will learn about the procedures and techniques which are required to undertake practical failure analysis investigations in a laboratory environment.
As this is a practical course, examinations on metal and alloy will be undertaken where you will:
identify the importance of record keeping and sample identification
conduct sample material for hardness testing
use visual and macro examinations
prepare a 'nick' fracture to carry out a test
investigate the fracture appearance
plan, prepare and produce microsections (Longitudinal and Transverse directions)
investigate unetched samples to identifying key fractures
examine a range of sample microsections/samples in etched state
investigate key features including non-metallic inclusions, grain shape, size and distribution matrix classification
Estimate the ASTM grain sizes
Record key features
Review the Thermal Equilibrium Diagram(s)
Key Learning Objectives
During this 1-day course you will understand the theory and practical elements of the Introduction to Practical Metallography Investigation.
You will understand the purpose of analysing material microstructure and how to determine product reliability during the metallography investigations, including the role of hardness testing.
This workshop is designed so that the knowledge you acquire is transferrable to the workplace.
Prerequisite
You must be working within the industry and have an interest in investigating metal fractures.
Who should attend
The course is aimed at people working within the steel industry and other associated industries. Delegates may include:
NDT Engineers
Quality Engineers
Testing Engineers
Technical Personnel
Heat Treatment Technicians
Richard Brown BEd, CertEd, MIMMM, Fellow ICME
