ASTM Component Design and Metallurgy Principles Webinar
About the Course
Join us for this webinar from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm ET
Designing and manufacturing products is complicated. So, why would anyone not take advantage of every tool available to make things easier?
Metals engineering is under-leveraged
One tool many people are unaware of is metals science and engineering. Even though millions of components are made of metal, metals science and engineering are highly under-leveraged at many companies. The result is missed opportunities to:
- Reduce component cost
- Decrease risks to design schedules
- Fix quality problems faster
- Innovate better components
In this webinar you will learn what metals engineering is and how it is applied to design components that meet performance and reliability requirements at low total cost.
It is recommended that prior to this webinar you complete Principles of Metallurgy Webinar.
Pre-requisite Webinar
The Principles of Metallurgy webinar is a pre-requisite for attending this webinar. Concepts covered in that webinar will be discussed in this session.
Learning Outcomes
The topics that will be covered are:
- The two primary factors that influence component performance, reliability, and cost.
- How metals engineering fits in with component design, sourcing, and solving reliability problems
- Steps for designing components with optimized form and materials.
- Component design considerations that are the basis for alloy selection.
- Identifying component design requirements and alloy selection criteria.
- How metals can be engineered when designing components.
Examples will be presented to explain the concepts taught.
Who Should Attend
Engineers, managers, and VPs looking for new ways to design better, lower-cost products that have fewer problems.
