About the Course

This first of these two lectures will be a presentation on the:


  • Effects of Carbon Content on Steel 1: Thermal Equilibrium Diagrams Normalising and Annealing

  • Effects of Carbon Content on Steel 2: Rapid Cooling and Tempering



You will review the images and compare them to the actual metallurgical microsections examining how heat treatment can effect the changes in grains.


During this course you will develop your metallurgical knowledge to understand the effects of how different carbon content have on microstructures, their identification linking to iron and iron carbon diagram, Thermal Equilibrium Diagram (TED).


You will understand during the hot and cold treatments of non-metallic inclusions how they have an effect on a range of carbon content and how the differing heat treatments changes the grain structures, size, orientation and its matrix.


You will review the microstructure of the material at different phases and linking to investigations on TED, ferrite, cementite, martensite. Reviewing the surface and central morphology effecting the decarburisation from the material.



Benefits

If you are working as a metallurgist or you need to have metallurgical knowledge within your role, this course will provide you with upskilling your understanding on how to investigate and identify the amount of carbon content and what effect this will have on your material. What causes the grains to change their orientation and matrix and the resultant effect.
