Fundamentals of Fastener Metallurgy and Heat

Treatment

April 18 & April 19 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. IFI Headquarters, Independence OH INSTRUCTORS Salim Brahimi, IFI Director Engineering Technology Laurence Claus, IFI Director of Education and Training Course Details: Participants will learn basic concepts of fastener metallurgy and heat treating with this course. The curriculum has been enhanced for 2024 and will be taught over two-full days rather than one. A major focus of the content is to provide students with an understanding of mechanical properties and how designers can influence or change them with thermal treatments. Common thermal treatments for fasteners, including the actual process and equipment mechanics use, will be explored. The course is heavily focused on carbon and alloy steel; however, the theory behind solution hardening and aging will also be discussed. In this new class format, additional material related to common industrial fastener strength standards, like ISO 898/1 and SAE J429, has been added as well as several practical exercises intended to reinforce and hone understanding of the material. Who Should Attend? Although this is a fundamentals course, students should have some understanding of engineering and/or metallurgy. This course is designed for engineers and technical associates. Although some areas could be explored in much greater detail, the subject matter will be best understood by individuals who have a background in engineering materials and mechanics. • Members in quality, engineering, or materials • Technical sales professionals • ASD members who seek to understand how their products or services relate. PRICING AND REGISTRATION Non-member pricing is $900 for both days. IFI Members can attend for FREE. Visit the IFI registration page to register.
