Course program

Day 1	Theoretical introduction: constitution of materials, natural materials, materials used in engineering: metals and alloys, engineering ceramics, polymers, composites. Mechanical and technological properties of metals and evaluation methods of properties : static tensile test (Rp, Rsp, Re or R 0,2, Rm, A, Z – methods of evaluation, static hardness testing: Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers, Knoop, Chruszczow-Bierkowicz, Grodziński; dynamic testing: Poldi hardness tester, Shore scleroscope, impact value. Structure and properties: classification of the elements, atomic structure, interactions between atoms, the presence or the lack of presence of crystal structures, basic crystal forms, especially those present in A1, A2 and A3 metals and their influence on alloys’ properties. Plastic forming of metals and their alloys: plastic deformation mechanisms: deformation by slip and twinning, crystallographic defects: point, line and planar defects; the impact of defects density on mechanical properties of metals and alloys; cold plastic working of metals, degree of cold work and interannealing (recrystallizing). Metallurgy: classification of Fe alloys: steel, cast steel, cast iron. Definition of steel. Methods of steelmaking; alloying and secondary refining; steel casting methods (strand casting, top casting, bottom casting). Attempts to fix the liquation of cast ingots: hot-working (rolling, drawing, stamping: open-die forging, impression die forging, pressing, rotary forging), degree of forming. Iron-carbon phase diagram: solutions, mixtures, intermetallics, two ingredients phase diagrams, Fe – C diagram, carbon steels and their properties (phase composition), analysis of phase transitions (peritectoid, eutectic, eutectoid transformation); the diagram analysis of phase composition in cast steel and cast iron, metallographic photos and the influence of phase composition on the properties of cast steel and cast iron.
Day 2	Time-temperature-transformation diagrams: cooling time and methods of cooling (continuous or with isothermic asrrest), critical cooling rate, phase transformation during cooling (martensite and bainitic transformation), differences between bainite and martensite. Quenching guidelines: the impact of alloy elements on the characteristic points and the shape of Fe-C diagram or on TTT diagram and therefore the structure; hardenability, heat treatment workability and the properties of steel; steel chemistry and thermal condustion; heat hardening, toughening, precipitation hardening (age hardening as an alternative for non-ferrous metal alloys and non-weathering austenitic alloy steel). Heating devices: introduction, typology, heating media. Cooling devices: introduction, quenching media – types and characteristics according to composition and purpose; cooling time, the relations between thermal condustion and the choice of quenching medium; causes for quenching cracks, causes for changes in the geometrical shape and dimensions for both heat treatment and quenching processes. Protective atmosphere in heat treatment: introduction. Quenching and drawback treatment methods: surface and customary quenching; martensitic and bainitic quenching. The necessity of tempering after quenching and transition processes during the steel soaking.
Day 3	Thermochemical treatment: Carbonization – the essence of the process, types of steel for carbonization, deciding on the thickness of carbonized coat. Nitrogen hardening - the essence of the process, types of steel for nitriding, deciding on the thickness of the coat. Carbonitriding – process analysis in comparison with carbonization. The analysis of heat treatment defects: wrong choice of austenitizing temperature, wrong choice of heating tool, wrong choice of protective atmosphere, wrong choice of cooling medium, wrong choice of tempering temperature (reversible and irreversible temper brittleness), wrong choice of the number of drawbacks. Annealing: with allotropic transformation (homogenization, normalization, true annealing, softening, isothermal annealing) or without allotropic transformation (recrystallizing, relief annealing, stabilization). Precitipation hardening (age hardening): as an alternative to heat treatment of alloys with no allotropic forms (corrosion-resistant alloy steels with austenitic structure, specific alloys, superalloys, non-ferrous metal alloys – Al and Cu alloys). Thermal coating: metallic and ceramic coating in order to protect the material from abrasion and enhance its thermal endurance; metal coating – chroming (plasma or oxyacetylene blowpipe), PVD – Physical Vapour Deposition processes and CVD – Chemical Vapour Deposition processes.

Laboratory

Participants of the courses have at their disposal equipment and machines available in a given workplace. We can also use the documentation provided by the client.

Intended for

The training is addressed to everyone interested in gaining or enhancing their knowledge in the field of heat treatment of metals as well as methods and tools involved in the process.

Training methods:

The fundamental element of the training course is to provide theoretical knowledge of the aspects of heat treatment with regard to its practical use in industrial installations.

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.
