An Introduction to Metallurgy

Metallurgy is a major topic within material science that deals with the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements and their mixtures known as alloys. And this science of metallurgy that was birthed before the Bronze Age now extends into every sector of consumer and industrial products and structures. From the International Space Station to automobiles and airplanes … from iPads to sky-scrapers … nearly every product imaginable rests upon a foundation of metallurgy.

As a result, all sorts of manufacturing professionals — quality and process engineers, supply chain professionals, production managers and more — can benefit from understanding the basics of metallurgy. But for most of these professionals, metallurgy feels unapproachable. Its scientific concepts and terminology sounds foreign and complex, and few professional metallurgists take the time to explain the concepts to the outside world.

That is why we created this course, “An Introduction to Metallurgy”. In it, you will learn a wide range of the fundamental concepts of this critical science. But don’t worry … we step through every concepts to help your learning process. In this course, we will cover:

• What is Metallurgy

• A Brief History of Metals

• Physical Metallurgy

• Mechanical Properties

• How Steel is Made?

• Crystal Structures

• Alloying

• And MUCH MORE!!

Plus, read what other students have said about An Introduction to Metallurgy:

“Excellent beginner launch point for Metallurgy, especially for the price.” – Mark M.

“Greatly appreciated Ray and Garry’s explanations of a topic I struggled with during my BSME curriculum. I would agree that the vocabulary was a barrier to me the first time around, and so the effort to explain these terms and provide a glossary was helpful.” – Michael R.

“Great course! I am a new metallurgical lab tech and this course taught me a lot.” – Lee B.

“Both instructors seem passionate about this course. The lectures were easy to understand and very relevant to the field that I am in.” – Ojinga B.

“A good high level overview of metallurgy.” – Brent M.

“This was a very good introduction to the basics of metallurgy. This provided good insight for practical application.” – Brad A.

This class is designed for quality, manufacturing, engineering and supply chain professionals looking to expand their skill set into this important field of study. “An Introduction to Metallurgy” will give you a foundational understanding of these key ideas and prepare you for more advanced training.

While an advanced understanding of chemistry and engineering is required to become a professional metallurgist, only a basic understanding of manufacturing is required to get started in this class.
