Description

This course provides a comprehensive and structured exploration of alloy steels, focusing on their composition, properties, and application in engineering contexts. It begins with the foundational principles of alloy steels, where learners examine the role of key alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and vanadium in modifying mechanical properties and enhancing material performance. The course progresses through low carbon, medium carbon, and quenched and tempered steels, enabling learners to analyse transformation behaviour, interpret material data, and evaluate the effects of heat treatment. Through structured analysis and applied activities, learners develop the ability to assess material performance and make informed engineering decisions.
