Peoria Chapter
Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist
Course Overview:
Provides an explanation of the unique physical characteristics of metals, including the reasons that metals behave differently than such non-metals as plastics, glass, wood, etc.
Explains the basis for the selection of different metals for specific engineering applications. Describes how metals are alloyed to achieve desired properties.
Provides details on one of the most important of all alloys -- steel – and discusses how steel is heat-treated to achieve various combinations of strength and ductility.
Explains how metals are formed into the components and describes how components are tested to determine critical properties, such as strength, ductility and toughness.
Discusses why metals corrode, why different metals behave differently in corrosive environments, and how the corrosion of metals can be controlled.
