This is a two day workshop targeted at people who are already involved in using or operating heat treatment operations and need a fuller understanding of heat treatment principles in their job. The course aims to be practical in nature but heat treatment is a process of micro-structural engineering and the fundamentals will be addressed. However, no prior knowledge is required. Common engineering steels, stainless steels, nickel based alloy systems and titanium and aluminium alloy systems will be covered. The course will consider bulk heat treatments but not surface heat treatments.

The course is aimed at people who are currently involved in using or operating heat treatment operations in their employment and need to broaden their understanding or branch out into new fields/alloys. The course would be helpful to Works Metallurgists, General Managers, Supervisors and recent graduates in Materials Technology. To gain maximum benefit from the course, people with little or no prior metallurgical knowledge may find attendance on the Introduction to Heat Treatment course first helpful.
