BASICS OF STAINLESS STEELS
Stainless steels are of increasing importance in the industrial world due to their resistance to corrosion and high temperatures.
Due to their intrinsic beauty, they are also of great importance in the sphere of architecture, where their resistance to corrosion makes it possible to ensure considerable durability over time both structurally and aesthetically.
The audience interested in stainless steels is therefore vast and varied, and the course provided by the SMT materials testing laboratory aims to satisfy all questions and dispel any doubts regarding the world of stainless steels.
The course aims to:
DErecipients
The course is intended for designers, professionals (engineers and architects) who work and design in the field of stainless steels, as well as for operators and technicians working in the processing sectors, such as forging, hot stamping, or for sales personnel (purchasing and sales) who want to improve their technical skills inherent in the world of stainless steel.
