About the course

Improving professional knowledge by understanding the principles of metallurgy provides participants with a set of valuable skills that can be applied in various industrial sections. Regardless of the field of work, having a fundamental knowledge of metallurgy can contribute to better decision-making, problem-solving, and collaboration with metallurgical experts.

Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist is a course designed to provide individuals with a non-metallurgical background a basic understanding of metallurgy, the study of metals and their properties. This course aims to bridge the knowledge gap and familiarize participants with fundamental concepts and principles of metallurgy, enabling them to make informed decisions and effectively collaborate with metallurgical professionals.

The course will also provide an overview of metals and alloys and relates these to the mechanical and physical characteristics of metals. Moreover, the training course will contain discussions on ferrous alloys (plain and alloy steels, stainless steels, and cast irons) and non-ferrous alloys, including corrosive and high-temperature applications, such as nickel-based alloys.

The course consists of 12 hours of live sessions with the instructor. All training content is provided through your EngineeringTrainer account.
