Tool steels - practical use in industrial applications

Course aim:

After completing the training, the participant:

Is able to select engineering materials in terms of tool design (i.e. injection and pressure molds, stamping and cutting dies, forging dies and cutting tools)
Uses technological operations in the field of heat, thermochemical and surface treatment dedicated to tool design
Models technological surface layers TSL that increase the service life of tools in industrial applications related to plastics processing, pressure casting, die forging, stamping and machining

Target group:

The training is intended for people who want to acquire or deepen their knowledge of tool design (injection molds, pressure molds, cutting dies, press tools, die forging, machining) in terms of selecting engineering materials used in heat, thermochemical and surface treatment technology, as well as modeling technological surface layers TSL in a practical approach

Catering

In addition to the substantive aspect, the comfort of our training participants is very important to us. We provide students with a climatic cafe and restaurant space, which is a place for refreshments and relaxation during breaks. We invite you to use the coffee bar and the modern massage chair!

During each training day, participants receive:

Unlimited access to the Cechownia Cafe coffee bar, serving tea and high-quality freshly ground coffee. The bar is equipped with:
- NECTO Karisma - a professional espresso machine of Italian production.
- THERMOPLAN BW 4 - a professional espresso machine made in Switzerland.
These are coffee machines used in the best coffee shops. According to your taste, we serve unique types of coffee - Cappuccino, Espresso, Americano, Caffe Latte and Turkish coffee. Training participants can also use unlimited sparkling and still water, juices and sweets.

Two-course dinner - a combination of traditional, home-made flavors with meals served in restaurants.

Until 4:00 PM in the cafe on the first floor you can also buy fresh sandwiches, cakes, sweet and salty snacks and cold drinks. After training - from 4:00 PM - we invite you to try the delicious dishes of the Cechownia Restaurant, prepared by the best chefs in Gliwice.
