Mumbai, April 02, 2007
TCR Institute for Materials Technology, Mumbai in association with Metallography Society, Vadodara is conducting a One Day Workshop on "Metallography for Engineers." The work will be held on June 16, 2007 at Hotel Atithi, 77 A&B Nehru Road, Vile Parle (E), Mumbai - 400 099, India.
This dynamic course is tailored for Inspection Engineers, Quality Control personnel, Fabricators, Heat Treaters, Plating / Coating providers, employees in the Foundry/ Forging/ Forming, Chemical & Petrochemical Industries, and aims to give course participants a strong competitive edge in today's rapidly changing marketplace. Non Metallurgists including designers, engineers, technicians, sales engineers and purchasers will gain valuable insight on the fundamental principles of metallurgy as well as the basic structure, properties, heat treatment and processing of metals and alloys.
Metallurgy is a vital basis of every major engineering field, and it contributes to virtually all engineering applications where a metallic component is used. Participants will gain a technical familiarization with ferrous and non-ferrous metals and their processing and optimization to meet specific product needs. Emphasis will be given to the foundational concepts of metallic structures and phases and the latest developments in material processing, in combination with an overview of metallurgy, which will provide a solid foundation and understanding of the significance and impact of metallurgy in product design.
Participants completing this course will be able to improve product performance, reduce operational costs, as well as update their update present knowledge of metals, processing, and optimization.
The course will focus on:
Basics of Metallurgy and Microstructures
- Basic processing and properties, Fe-C diagram, metals and materials types. Shape Forming including Melt/cast, cold/warm work, forge, draw, extrude, powder metallurgy shaping.
Understanding of Phase Diagrams and Development of Structures
- Characteristics of metals, atomic arrangements and bonding, crystal structures, grains and precipitates, strengthening mechanisms, deformation, and phase diagrams.
Sample Preparation Techniques
- Explanation of Metallography including SEM and EDAX, Mechanical Properties, Chemical Analysis, Corrosion Testing, NDT
Basics of Microscopy and Analysis of Structures
- Surface Analysis and Effect of Heat Treatment including processes, properties/microstructure effects on steels, cast irons, super alloys, and non-ferrous including Al and Ti alloys.
Advancement in Metallography
- Looking at Emerging Materials/Processes covering composites, nano materials, grain boundary engineering.
Role of Metallography in Failure Investigation and RLA
- Failure mechanism solutions, Wear and corrosion mechanisms, Hardness, stress-strain, fatigue, toughness, creep, property envelopes.
The course will be taught by a senior and experienced faculty comprising of Dr. Rajendra Kumar (Former director NML, Jamshedpur and RRL Bhopal), Dr. P. B. Joshi (Professor in Department of Metallurgical Engineering, M. S. University, Vadodara), P. U. Haribhakti (Managing Director, TCR Advanced Engineering, Vadodara), Dr. M. N. Patel (Department of Metallurgical Engineering, M. S. University, Vadodara), and Dr. B. K. Shah (Head NDT at BARC, Mumbai).
