Who it's for
- Engineering or materials science students building a foundation in metals
- Manufacturing, foundry, welding, or heat-treatment professionals expanding their technical scope
- Quality, testing, corrosion, or failure-analysis specialists who need stronger metallurgy fundamentals
- Researchers and product designers selecting metals for demanding service conditions
- Technical professionals preparing for work in steel, aerospace, automotive, energy, construction, or recycling
What you'll be able to do
- Identify how composition, bonding, crystal structure, defects, and microstructure influence metal properties
- Interpret phase diagrams, transformation charts, stress–strain curves, fracture surfaces, and fatigue data
- Calculate basic material, energy, diffusion, phase-fraction, solidification, and process balances
- Relate extraction, casting, forming, joining, heat treatment, and surface engineering to final performance
- Choose suitable characterization, mechanical testing, and nondestructive evaluation methods for a materials question
- Compare metals and processing routes using service conditions, failure risks, specifications, cost, and sustainability
Course outline
Metallurgy is the science and engineering of metals, covering their extraction, processing, properties, performance, and failure prevention.
