About the Course
Join Michael Pfeifer, Ph.D., P.E. from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Eastern time for this webinar.
Understanding steel metallurgy is critical to
- Design steel components that meet performance and reliability requirements at low cost
- Solve manufacturing and supplier quality problems
- Have productive conversations with steel suppliers, heat treaters, and metallurgical labs
Steel strength, hardness, ease of component fabrication, and other properties depend on several metallurgical factors. These metallurgical factors can be engineered to get the desired properties for a component.
During this webinar you will learn about the effects of steel alloy composition and steel microstructure on carbon steel strength and hardness and how microstructure is modified by alloy composition, cold working, and heat treating in order to obtain specific strength and hardness. Understanding these concepts is important for component design and productive conversations with component suppliers, heat treaters, and metallurgical labs.
Topics Covered
The following topics will be discussed:
- Commonly available carbon and low-alloy steels and their alloy designations
- Steel microscopic structures and their effects on steel strength and hardness
- Common steel heat treatments and their effects on steel microstructure and properties
- Effects of alloy composition on steel properties
Target Audience
Design engineers, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers, sourcing specialists.
Registering for the Webinar
The fee is $125 per person. After registering you will receive an email within a few hours with information about how to access the webinar. In addition to the webinar, you'll get 7-day access to a recording of the webinar.
