Metallurgy Training for Non-Metallurgists Learning Path

The ASME Metallurgy Training for Non-Metallurgists Learning Path covers a range of metallurgical engineering topics that provide non-metallurgists with a good foundation to make decisions and solve problems involving metals. This learning path covers metallurgy fundamentals, steel metallurgy, metal failure analysis, and corrosion of metals. Completion of this path supports you to: 

• Assimilate and use metallurgy terminology.
• Identify approaches to modify metal strength and hardness. 
• Interpret steel designation systems to identify different steels.
• Identify carbon content in carbon and low-alloy steels based on their alloy designations.
• Analyze common steel microstructures and their characteristics.
• Evaluate the effects of carbon content and various heat treatments on steel microstructure and resulting steel hardness, strength, and toughness
• Select appropriate techniques for metallurgical failure analysis.
• Classify fracture modes using fracture surface evidence.
• Analyze fracture, corrosion, and manufacturing failures to identify root causes.
• Evaluate how an electrochemical corrosion cell influences corrosion rates and mechanisms.
• Assess factors that contribute to corrosion. 
• Evaluate mechanisms and rate-influencing factors for the seven common corrosion types and identify three approaches for prevention.
• Identify test methods used to measure corrosion rate and assess corrosion behavior for the different types of corrosion.
