Stainless steels have emerged as one of the more important engineered materials, designed for strength, corrosion resistance, and easy 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.
