Overview

The Basics of Heat Treatment: Processes, Terminology, Equipment, and Science

What you'll learn:
  • Overview of heat treating processes, terminology, equipment, and concepts
  • High-level chemical and metallurgical concepts
  • Overview of mechanical properties
  • Effects of carbon on mechanical properties
  • How mechanical properties and enhanced through heat treating
  • Fundamentals of heat transfer
  • Basics of quench and tempering, annealing, normalizing, and case hardening
  • Basics of furnace designs, types, and quench medias
  • Introduction to the Iron-Carbon Phase Diagram

Nearly every product made from metal -- from simple fasteners to complex structural elements to airplane parts -- has undergone some sort of heat treatment process. After all, the mechanical properties needed from a component like strength, hardness, ductility, or corrosion resistance, can rarely be achieved through material selection alone. Choosing the right material selection is only the first step. Engineering and metallurgists then need to apply the appropriate heat treatment processes to that material to achieve their desired results.

So if you are just getting involved with heat treatment processes, the design or manufacturing of steel components, or the purchasing of heat treated components, then this is the class for you!!

In this course, Fundamentals of Steel Heat Treating, licensed professional engineer and metallurgy instructor, Garry Pace, will share with you the basic concepts of heat treatment. And this course starts at the BASICS ... no obscure terminology or chemistry to wade through.

You will learn:

  • The basics of steel metallurgy

  • Fundamentals of heat transfer

  • The major types of heat treatment like annealing, quenching, tempering, normalizing and case hardening

  • How carbon affects the ability of a steel to be heat treated

  • How time and temperature interact to heat treat a part

  • An overview of mechanical properties

  • How heat treatment can help achieve those properties

  • The major furnace types

  • The major quench media types

  • And tons of practical insight

And in addition to the wealth of knowledge this course offers, you also get:

  • Lifetime access to all course materials

  • A Certificate of Completion showing your name, the course title, and length of course

  • Q&A access with the instructors through the Udemy platform

So if you're looking for a high-quality, low-cost way to understand the basics of heat treatment, then this is the class for you. SIGNUPTODAY!!!
