This course covers the basics of how metals are produced, how they behave, and how their properties can be altered by common mill processes. It also covers common metallurgical analyses used to evaluate metal properties, composition, and microstructure for general metal characterization and for when quality problems arise. The training is geared to non-metallurgists working in the metals supply chain and provides practical knowledge. Understanding the concepts covered and learning basic metallurgy terminology is important for having productive conversations with mills and customers. It is also helpful for working through quality problems.
