PLASTIC DEFORMATION
A fundamental characteristic of metallic materials and in particular of steel is that they can be plastically deformed both hot and cold, resulting in artifacts of even complex geometry with improved physical and mechanical properties.
The course aims to:
DErecipients
The course is aimed at industry technicians, design engineers and quality control technicians, as well as those who work in the metallurgical industry in the commercial field (purchasing and/or sales).
