(#1 Best Seller) Metals and alloys are used in the greatest variety of applications of all engineering materials and drive your products’ success. That is why it is crucial for those involved in manufacturing and engineering to have knowledge about what metals are, how they behave, and why they behave differently than ceramics, glass, and plastics. This course provides essential knowledge about metallurgy—specifically designed for those who are not metallurgists.
Your instructor will give you a comprehensive overview of technology, science, and key concepts for the entire course. The sessions and discussions are very interactive and create an environment where questions are always welcome.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS CLASS?
- Component designers
- Operators
- Technicians
- Manufacturers
- Engineers
