WHAT THE COURSE COVERS
*Recap on definition of strength, ductility and toughness
*Recap on the influence of grain size on strength and toughness
*Practical methods by which, strength, ductility, toughness, hardness, creep and fatigue are measured
-Tensile test
- Charpy and CTOD test
- Brinell and Vickers hardness test
- Creep testing
- Fatigue testing
*Recap on Fe-C phase diagram and formation of equilibrium ferrite and pearlite
*Recap on how martensite and bainite are formed
- What are the key features which differentiate how ferrite and pearlite, bainite and martensite look like in practice
- How samples are prepared and etched for microstructural assessment
- How these microstructures are observed under an optical light microscope
- What features can be distinguished using a scanning electron microscope
*Recap on the rules governing Time-Temperature-Transformation and Critical Cooling Rate
- How these rules are applied in through practical heat treatment to achieve desired properties
- Parameters required for annealing and the property outcome
- Parameters required for normalising and the property outcome
- Parameters required for quenching and the property outcome
LEARNING OUTCOMES
* Full understanding of the definitions of key mechanical properties and how these properties are measured in practice
* Ability to differentiate between non-equilibrium steel microstructures formed during processing
* The practical methods by which microstructures can be observed
* An understanding of the importance of sample procurement and sample preparation on the properties measured and microstructures observed
* The rules governing heat treatment outcomes and the practical parameters under which these heat treatments are conducted
