NDT 160 Introduction to Metallurgy
This course explores basic metallurgical principles, materials evaluation, metallography, mechanical, physical, and chemical properties and the effects of fabrication on metals. Nondestructive Testing students will benefit from this knowledge as they perform their inspections on a variety of fabrications, castings and repairs.
Notes
Career Technical Education (CTE) Course
Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Differentiate between heat-treated and work-hardened metals. Identify different metals using a variety of characteristics including; thermal and electrical conductivity, weight, color, melting temperatures, microstructure, and magnetic susceptibility. Perform different heat treatments and mechanical deformations on metals to effect mechanical properties and be able to measure changes in mechanical properties using a variety of test equipment in accordance with the American Society of Testing Materials criteria.
