METALLOGRAPHY OF CARBON AND LOW-ALLOY STEELS
This is the second of three courses that are part of a training course on heat treatment and metallography.
Each course can be taken independently of the others.
To have a complete training we recommend participation in the entire course.
For this reason we have come up with an attractive discount for those who attend two or all three courses.
The course aims to:
DErecipients
The course is aimed at technicians in testing laboratories, technicians working in heat treatment, and those involved in failure analysis.
course lecturers
Eng. Mario Cusolito – Consultant
Eng. Andrea Trombetta – Consultant in the field of titanium, aluminum, steel
Eng. Andrea Casali – Metallographic Area Manager S.M.T.
