The next virtual course will take place on Wednesday 11 June 2025.
We are delighted to be working with experienced trainer Clayton Thomas to offer this one-day short course introducing fracture and fatigue failure analysis.
It is difficult to come across any industry that does not rely on metals in some way, shape or form. This course provides an introduction to engineering design using metals and explores the structure, properties and processing of this large and varied group of materials. The knowledge gained from the course will enhance discussions between customers and suppliers and gives a better understanding of the influence and control of structure through processing on properties and applications.
This course is one of nine courses in the IOM3 Metallurgy in Practice suite.
If you attend this and two of the other courses in the series, you will receive an IOM3 Certificate in Metallurgy in Practice.
If you attend this and five of the other courses in the series, you will receive the IOM3 Diploma in Metallurgy in Practice.
