Metallurgy of Titanium Heat Treatment

Description

INTRODUCTION

Titanium (Ti) and titanium alloys have made significant progress in finding industrial use in the previous century due to some key advantages over other common industrial metals. Key benefits of titanium alloys over iron based and aluminum based alloys are its strength to weight ratio (Ti is roughly 60% of regular steel weight),  outstanding combination of mechanical properties (from room temperature to  elevated temperatures) and remarkable corrosion resistance.

The major challenge of Ti manufacturing is its high reactivity with gases present in atmosphere specially at elevated temperature causing immature failure and difficulty in fabrication. Consequently, manufacturing cost of Titanium ;  starting from raw material production to the final shape is relatively high. However, eventual operating benefits outweigh its high manufacturing cost.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This Metallurgy of Titanium Heat Treatment course is designed for professionals that wish to gain a nuanced and higher level of knowledge on working with Titanium and titanium alloys.

The objective of this course is to help gain comprehension of the challenges and methods of heat treating titanium and its alloys. This course covers the concepts with enough details that provide the participants of this course an advanced knowledge of the various topics that pertain to working with Titanium and titanium alloy products.

At the end of the course, the participants will be exposed to concepts to make them advanced users with a nuanced view on how to handle the day to day business  of interacting on topics related to metallurgy of heat treatment of titanium and Titanium alloys.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE

Our Advanced Metallurgy Series courses are designed to help those that are already proficient with metallurgy topics and need advanced knowledge because the job demands it or you are working on a specific project that requires you to learn in detail.

It is designed for a wide variety of audiences like :

• Supply chain managers
• Sr. Sourcing engineers
• Sr. Quality engineers
• Quality Managers
• Senior Testing Engineers
• Advanced Project Engineers
• Sr. Development Engineers
• Sr. Design Engineers

If you are looking to gain a comprehensive knowledge beyond heat treatment then you should consider the Advanced Titanium Metallurgy course instead of this one.

If you are looking to gain a primary knowledge instead of an advanced understanding of titanium and its alloys then you should consider the Fundamentals of Titanium Metallurgy course instead of this one.
