Fasteners

Date: October 24-25 Time: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Format: In-Person Location: Independence, OH Registration/Pricing: Click here to register Course Details: The Fastener Training Institute and Industrial Fasteners Institute present an in-person, two full-day training opportunity on the fundamentals of fastener metallurgy and heat treatment. This class focuses primarily on steels. Participants will gain a better understanding of fundamental metallurgical concepts and how crystal structure, phase combinations, and alloying determine the properties exhibited by fasteners. Participants will then learn how we make transitions by heat treating to achieve more desired properties for the application. Topics Covered: • Basic metallurgy concepts • Hardenability and the effect of tempering • Basics of steel nomenclature • Steels used for fasteners • Strengthening steel fasteners • Surface hardening fasteners • Annealing fasteners Who Should Attend? • Engineers, Quality, Purchasing, Quoting, Technical Sales • Anyone that wants to learn more about how fasteners are heat treated Instructor: Laurence Claus, IFI Director of Training
