In Metallurgy, students cover the following topics with a certified and experienced instructor. Students will gain a well developed understanding of the origins, properties, and uses of the two most important commercial metals – iron and steel, as well as eight other important metals and their properties and uses. Students will learn the basics of torque and tensioning and demonstrate their applications.
Students will gain a well developed understanding of the two most important commercial metals – iron and steel. Their origins, properties, and uses will be described and shown in illustrations. Students will also become familiar with eight other important metals and their properties and uses. These metals range from copper and aluminum to tin and zinc.
The power generation industry demands high quality joint integrity. Whether the bolting is on the reactor pressure vessel head at a nuclear power plant, or holding the blades to the bearing on a wind turbine, there is no room for failure. The wind turbine industry offers unique challenges for bolting and tensioning. Students will learn the basics of torque and tensioning and demonstrate their applications.
