Metallurgy Courses

Our metallurgy training includes on-demand metallurgy courses, webinars, and on-site courses. All are geared to design, manufacturing, and quality engineers.

The training covers practical metallurgy and metals engineering concepts that apply to component design, manufacturing process development, supplier evaluation, and solving reliability and quality problems.

On-demand metallurgy courses and webinars are listed below.

Close the metals science and engineering knowledge gap

Many engineers involved in product design and manufacturing haven’t had much metallurgy and metals engineering training. So, they get stuck when component design decisions and component reliability and quality problems come up that involve metals.

Our training helps close this knowledge gap, enabling engineers to take advantage of opportunities to:

Make better informed decisions.
Design better, low-cost components.
Fix quality and reliability problems faster.
Have better conversations with suppliers, customers, and metallurgical labs.

All while being more productive.

Discounts

We offer group discounts and discounted all-access passes.
