The seminar teaches the basics of metallography and explains the general relationships between the various structural elements and their properties. Both the mode of operation and the imaging methods in the light and electron microscope are discussed.

Overview of tool steels for cold and hot forming and plastics processing. Teaching of the basic material science relationships. Practical implementation and consideration of damage mechanisms.

Case hardening, i.e. the combination of carburizing and hardening, is the process of choice when it comes to achieving maximum strength. In order to use case hardening sensibly and to be able to compare different process variants with each other, basic knowledge of materials and process engineering is required. This seminar focuses on gas and low-pressure carburizing.

The practical seminar teaches the basics of technical heat treatment and its processes. Participants should gain an understanding of how to select and assess suitable heat treatment processes, recognize the limits and errors and understand the effects on the functionality or failure of components and apply them in practice.
