INTRODUCTIONTOMETALLOGRAPHY(1DAY)

This metallographic course isideal for those either new to the

field, or wishing to acquire an

update on current practices.

The course is designed to give

both practical and theoretical

training in basic metallographic

principles and practices.

Introduction to Metallography

includes training and practical

sessions on sample selection,sectioning, encapsulation,

grinding,polishing, etching

techniques and the principles

of optical microscopy.There is a

maximum attendance of five

people per month, please book

early to ensure enrollment.

Preparation of customer

samples can be incorporated,

however; please arrange at leastten working days in advance.

Full course notes and a

certificate of attendance are

provided.

Cost:195.00 plusVAT

MATERIALS PREPARATIONFORMICROSTRUCTURALANALYSIS (3 DAYS)Intermediate course for

beginners and experienced

personnel. Up-to-date theory

and practice of mechanical

preparation.Preparation of a

range of sample materials and

own samples. Etching and

microscopy techniques for

microstructural analysis.This

three day course is constructed

to address all aspects of

specimen preparation for

microstructural analysis, as well

as optical microscopy and

hardness testing.The idea is to

develop a technical

understanding of whathappens when specimens are

sectioned, encapsulated,

ground,polished, etched and

then observed optically.

Includes extensive practical

sessions on specimen prepara-

tion and demonstration of

analysis techniques, for various

materials.

Cost:595.00 plusVATSeptember 14-16

METALLOGRAPHICINTERPRETATION(5 DAYS)

This course covers up-to-date

metallographic principles, and

correlates microstructures with

material properties. Interpreta-

tion of microstructures for

quality performances and the

role of metallography in quality

control and failure analysis is

examined.This course is

intended for those who have

achieved some skill in specimen

preparation techniques, and

wish to extend their ability tothe interpretation of

metallographic structures and

the relationship to

performance.

Cost:

595.00 plusVAT for full

course

June 21-25

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?Anyone who looks at

microstructures of materials

including metals, biomaterials,

minerals,ceramics,bone, teeth,

wood, glass, paint, composites,

cermets, PCBs, component

assemblies and many more.The

elements of competence tasks

are based on each delegates

own material, and therefore,

needs will vary.This ensures we

have something for the expert,

the newcomer and for those

who simply wish to extend their

knowledge.
