HOBART INSTITUTE RELEASES NEW DVD ON
BASIC METALLURGY
Troy, OH.
October 11, 2004 -- Basic
Metallurgy
is the perfect primer for anyone needing an
understanding of the fundamental concepts associated
with metals and their weldability—Engineers,
Engineering Students, Designers, Welders, Welding
Instructors, to name a few.
Basic
Metallurgy covers the metallurgy and weldability of carbon steel, the
welding characteristics of stainless steels, and the
welding characteristics of aluminum. This courseware
features easy-to-understand explanations supported
by 3-D animations and real-world examples.
Whether you want to
give engineering students a solid foundation in the
basics to prepare them for higher level
metallurgical concepts, or provide welders with the
essentials that they need to know about metals,
you'll find Basic Metallurgy an excellent
resource.
Some of the
topics covered include:
·
How
heat affects the relationship between iron atoms,
which are the basic building blocks of steel.
·
How
carbon diffuses in iron, and how martensite forms
when metal cools too quickly.
·
How
to prevent martensite from forming by using heat
treatment to control the cooling rate of carbon
steel.
·
How
to use the SAE-AISI and UNS numbering systems to
identify the major alloying element and carbon
content of steel.
·
How to
use an AWS filler metal classification to select an
appropriate filler metal.
·
The
five groups of stainless steel and how to use an
AISI number to identify them.
·
How
to use the AWS classification system for stainless
steel filler metals to select an appropriate filler.
·
Why
stainless steel is more susceptible to distortion
that plain carbon steel.
·
Why
carbide precipitation occurs in austenitic stainless
steels, and how to minimize carbide precipitation.
·
How
to evaluate a stainless steel weld by its color.
·
The
seven major series of heat treatable and non-heat
treatable aluminum alloys and their applications.
·
How
to select filler for aluminum based on application.
·
How to
produce a quality weld on aluminum.
This
new DVD-based courseware on metallurgy has been
extracted from the recently released Gas Tungsten
Arc Welding program for those looking for a separate
metallurgy course.
The program includes three modules and is 40
minutes in length.
Basic Metallurgy is also available on VHS by
request.
