Carbon Steel Alloy Selection Webinar
About the Course
Join us for this webinar from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm ET
Are you responsible for selecting steel to use in engineered components? Do you struggle to understand the pros and cons of different alloys?
In this webinar you will learn the considerations for identifying steel alloys and mill conditions suitable for an application. Case studies will be used to demonstrate the selection process and give attendees opportunities to apply their carbon steel metallurgy knowledge.
A basic understanding of steel metallurgy is needed to get the most from this webinar. This includes an understanding of metallurgical factors that influence steel strength and hardness. We recommend attending our steel metallurgy webinar to learn these concepts.
It is recommended that prior to this webinar you complete Carbon Steel Metallurgy for Design Engineers Webinar.
What Will You Learn?
You will learn the considerations for identifying steel alloys and mill conditions suitable for an application. Case studies will be used to demonstrate the selection process and give attendees opportunities to apply their carbon steel metallurgy knowledge.
