Course programme

This is a two day workshop targeted at people who are already involved in using or operating heat treatment operations and need a fuller understanding of heat treatment principles in their job.

The course aims to be practical in nature but heat treatment is a process of micro-structural engineering and the fundamentals will be addressed. However, no prior knowledge is required.

Common engineering steels, stainless steels, nickel based alloy systems and titanium and aluminium alloy systems will be covered. The course will consider bulk heat treatments but not surface heat treatments.
