CT09 - Choosing steel for mechanical engineering, understanding and performing heat treatments

Inter-company and intra-company courses

New

Educational objectives

Apply metallurgical knowledge to understand and select the grade and industrial process for manufacturing mechanical parts from special steels:

  • Choosing the right grade and heat treatments for manufacturing a mechanical part by forging and machining.

  • Define the heat treatments to be applied to ensure the mechanical performance of the part during service.

  • Understand the theoretical principles, practical applications, and risks of these heat treatments.      

PROGRAM

Basic reminder:

  • atoms, molecules, solutions, and precipitates

  • crystallography and their defects

  • mechanical properties

  • designation of steel grades

  • Influence of alloying elements, economic impact

  • Hardenable steels using TRC, TTT, and Jominy curves

  • Heat treatments for shaping: normalizing, globular annealing, isothermal annealing, etc.

  • Functional treatments: hardening, carburizing, nitriding, induction treatment, etc.

  • Focus on undesirable part deformation, machinability, grain size, decarburization

  • Case studies
