Engineering the Next Generation

Two day course

Metallurgy
for Non-Metallurgists

I really enjoyed the

course you ran at
NAMTEC last week.
It was extremely
interesting to get under
the skin of metallurgy and
start to understand the
language my customers
use when talking about
the alloys we sell

A two day overview of the principals and applications

of a variety of metal and alloys.

Course aims

Who should attend

The course aims to provide

a sound understanding of
the scientific principles of
metallurgy and how to apply
them to specify & process
metals in an industrial context.
Some prior understanding of
metallurgical principles
is assumed.

Professionals who work in

the production, processing,
specification, design,
fabrication or selling of
metals. The course is suited
to, for example; production,
technical, quality control,
product design and marketing
& sales professionals.

I would recommend this

course to anyone wishing
to gain knowledge of
the industry in general.
Overall, it was an
excellent course
