Many companies struggle from time-to-time with sheet metal components that are a hassle to fabricate for various reasons. These struggles add up in scrap costs and time and effort to figure out the root cause and fix it.
Sheet metal formability refers to the ability of sheet metal to be bent, drawn, and/or stretched to form a component, without fracturing or excessive thinning. It's a critical property that is influenced by various factors, a material's mechanical properties, the forming process conditions, and the shape and complexity of the part.
In many cases, forming struggles are due to or are aggravated by a misunderstanding of the tensile property data in a material's test report (cert) and how it relates to the ability to form sheet metal into the desired shape. This misunderstanding occurs during component design and when it's in production.
Watch this video recording of the live Introduction to Sheet Metal Formability webinar to learn where the tensile properties numbers on certs come from, what they mean, and how they are used. This webinar takes you through the properties measured during a tensile test and what they mean to you and your chances for forming success. We'll then cover an approach that provides you insight on where problems are likely to occur even if your first coils look good and you think the tools are ready for production.
The video is a recording of the live Introduction to Sheet Metal Formability webinar. The video is about 45 minutes long. You will receive a course slide document and have 12 weeks access to the video.

How do I register for a course?
Add a course or courses to your cart, create a login profile, and pay. You will receive an email with instructions on how to access the course.
How do I register for someone else?
Add a course or courses to your cart, create a login profile for the person who will be taking the course(s), and pay. They will receive an email with instructions on how to access the course.
How much time do I have to complete a course?
Course access is for 4 months from the registration date. Completing 1-2 modules a week will enable you to complete any of our courses before the expiration date. Still, we recommend trying to complete a course within 2-3 weeks of starting for best learning outcomes.
Are training certificates awarded after completing a metallurgy course?
Yes, upon successful completion of the courses, participants receive a training certificate that shows the participant’s name, course title, hours of training credit, and the completion date. A final exam score of at least 70% is required to pass a course.
Who are these metallurgy courses designed for?
These courses are geared to non-metallurgists. This includes engineers, technicians, and anyone else who works in design and manufacturing. Our courses are designed for people who want to deepen their understanding of metallurgy without prior metallurgy training.
How long does it take to complete a metallurgy course?
The duration varies depending on the specific course, but most can be completed within a few weeks to a month, depending on the learner's pace.
Are there prerequisites for enrolling in these courses?
There are no strict prerequisites. We recommend starting with our Principles of Metallurgy course to learn metallurgy fundamentals. Some of our other courses have Principles of Metallurgy as a prerequisite. Each course page has a list of prerequisites from our catalogue of courses.
Are group discounts offered?
Yes, we offer group discounts. Complete this form to tell us the courses of interest and your group size. We’ll email right back. We can also help you choose the training based on your training needs and goals, your team, and your budget.
What is the course format?
Courses are online, on-demand. Participants can go through the courses at their own pace. Here's an example of the teaching format.
What are the benefits of taking metallurgy courses online?
Online metallurgy courses offer flexibility, allowing you to learn at your own pace from anywhere. They provide access to expert instructors, comprehensive materials, and the ability to balance studies with work or other commitments.
