Basic Metallurgy & Metallography of Light Metals
Buehler Partner Center @ Advanced Casting Research Center
This two day course combines elements of metallurgy and metallography for light metals focusing on magnesium, aluminum, and titanium alloys. Experts from both Buehler and University of California, Irvine will cover the fundamental metallurgy of light metals, processing techniques, along with specific considerations for preparing and etching.
The key topis of the lecture include:
- Current Trends in Light Weighting of Structural Materials
- The linkage of Processing Structure Properties
- Powder Metallurgy vs Conventional Processing
- Additive Manutacturing Overview
- Applications to Light Metals
- Applications of Metamaterials
- Best Practice in Sectioning, Mounting Grinding & Polishing
- Metallographic Preparation Examples
- Etching and Microscopy
