Learn about steel induction and flame hardening process steps and conditions, their effects on case hardness and case depth, and how to measure case hardness and depth. Also learn the effects of alloy composition.
Induction and flame hardening are heat treatments used to form a strong, hard case (surface layer) over lower strength, more ductile steel. Understanding the basics of the process steps, process conditions, and metallurgical effects is key to getting the desired properties in your components.
This course is a strong fit for engineers and technicians who work with steels but do not need to become full-time metallurgists. The metallurgy knowledge you’ll gain will help you with alloy selection, supplier evaluation, process development, and solving quality problems. The terminology you'll learn will help you communicate more effectively with other engineers, customers, and heat treaters.
Ready to get started?
Engineers and technical professionals use this course to build practical metallurgy knowledge they can apply in design, manufacturing, quality, and supplier related work.
In this course you will learn
Knowledge checks throughout the course give learners opportunities to apply the metallurgy concepts taught.
To get the most from this course, you should be familiar with the concepts taught in our Principles of Metallurgy, Steel Metallurgy, and Steel Through Hardening courses. This includes
The Steel Metallurgy and Heat Treating Bundle includes this course and the prerequisite courses.
A certificate for 2 training hours (0.2 CEUs) will be awarded after completing all course modules and successfully completing a final exam.

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.
