Description
The course will concentrate on how key mechanical properties are measured in practice; the key features of microstructures formed during processing and how these microstructures are observed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy and how microstructure and therefore mechanical properties are changed by heat treatment processes. The course will refer to terminology and principles covered in the course Building Blocks for Metallurgical Success, so it is recommended that that course is completed ahead of undertaking this course.
