Stainless Steels, October 12-15, 2026, Virtual Only

Event Date:

October 12, 2026

Event Time:

9:30 am

Event Location:

Stainless steels have emerged as one of the more important engineered materials, designed for strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of fabrication. Continued growth in the use of stainless steels provides an incentive to understand their properties, processing, and response to various fabrication processes. This course provides the important facts to help master these alloys for a wide variety of uses.

Topics range from basic metallurgy and material selection to applications like welding, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance. The course includes all major stainless steel families including austenitic, martensitic, ferritic, precipitation-hardening, and duplex grades.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

  • Designers
  • Technicians
  • Fabricators
  • Engineers
  • Process Engineers
  • Maintenance Engineers

REQUIRED PREREQUISITES

A foundational understanding of steel mechanical properties and analytical thinking skills at the high school level or above.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

  • Identify the mechanical and physical properties of the different types and grades of stainless steel
  • Select the best alloy for a specific application
  • Troubleshoot problems due to corrosion failures
  • Determine the best processes to use in the manufacture of stainless steel components
