Carbon Steel Metallurgy Webinar
Thursday, October 18, 10:00 am – 11:30 am CDT
This webinar teaches about the effects of alloy composition, heat treating, and cold-working on steel strength and hardness. Participants will also learn how these three factors are used to modify carbon steels to obtain specific hardness and strength.
Topics covered:
- Different types of plain carbon and low-alloy carbon steel alloys and their designations
- Effects of carbon content on steel strength and hardness
- Effects of cold working on steel strength
- Brief explanations of common heat treatments and their effects on steel
- How the microscopic metallurgical structures in steel are modified to obtain specific strength and hardness
Who should attend: Sales, operations, purchasing, and other metals industry professionals.
