Metallurgy of Steel: Principles
- Select the most appropriate alloy and heat treating process for your application
- Evaluate suppliers
- Develop manufacturing processes
- Solve quality problems
A good understanding of what can be done to modify the properties of steel is critical for being more productive and profitable.
What Will You Learn
The following aspects of steel metallurgy are taught in this course:
- Steel types & designations used for the different categories of steel alloys
- Metallurgical phases and microstructures found in steels and their effects on steel strength and hardness
- How to use the iron-carbon phase diagram to predict the phases present in a steel alloy based on composition and temperature
- Microstructure changes that occur in steel during heating and cooling and the resulting effects on strength and hardness
- Effects of cooling rate on the microstructure that forms when steel is quenched during through hardening heat treatment
