Metallurgy of Steel Through Hardening
PD261330ON
- Content
- This online course teaches about the metallurgy of the following steel through hardening processes: quench and temper, martempering, and austempering. Participants will learn about the effects of heat treating temperature and cooling rate on steel microstructure and properties, and the effects of the interaction between heat treating process parameters and steel composition on through hardened steel microstructure and strength. This course takes one hour to complete.
- Content
- By participating in this online course, you'll be able to:
- Describe the heat treatment processes used for through hardening
- List the significant process variables for through hardening
- Describe the effects on steel microstructure and properties of the significant through hardening and tempering process variables
- Explain the difference between maximum hardness and hardenability
- Read a hardenability curve
- Relate hardenability to through hardened steel microstructure and hardness
- Explain three common problems encountered with quenching and how to prevent these problems
- Content
- This course is targeted to design, manufacturing, and quality engineers, and sales people and purchasing agents with technical backgrounds. It is suggested that, as a prerequisite, you have knowledge of the concepts covered in our Principles of Metallurgy online course.
