Description

Designed for learners seeking a practical and applied understanding of engineering materials, this course provides a comprehensive exploration of plain carbon steels and their behaviour in industrial contexts. The course examines how carbon content, heat treatment processes, and additional chemical elements influence steel microstructure, mechanical properties, machinability, and performance. Learners progress from foundational concepts to applied analysis of quenching, tempering, hardenability, alloying effects, and product forms, concluding with a summative assessment.
