Introduction to Steel Heat Treating is a 0.5 CEU course that teaches about common heat treating processes and how they are used to manipulate the microstructure of steels to obtain specific mechanical properties. Students will learn about the metallurgy of steel, the effects of heat treating temperature and cooling rate on microstructure and properties, and the effects of the interaction between heat treating process parameters and steel composition on steel microstructure and strength. The knowledge gained will help students address metallurgy decisions and problems related to steel alloy selection, process development, and supplier selection.
The course is divided into eight modules. There is a quiz after each module. The modules are:
- Introduction
- Metallurgy of Steel
- Steel Phase Diagram
- Phase Transformations in Steel
- Annealing and Normalizing
- Through Hardening
- Case Hardening
- Surface Hardening
Course Length
The course is 0.5 CEUs and takes about 5 hours to complete. Modules are 15 to 40 minutes long. Learners will have 3
months to complete the course. The course will not be accessible to a
learner after 3 months.
Target Audience
Design engineers, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers, sourcing specialists
Prerequisites
Learners should either take our Introduction to Metallurgy course or have basic knowledge of the following topics: solid solution, substitution, interstitial, diffusion, effects of process temperature and time on diffusion and metallurgical changes, metallurgical phase, grain, grain boundary, precipitates and precipitation, tensile testing, and hardness testing.
