Deep Dive into Steel Microstructures and Material Behaviour!
This advanced training is designed for professionals looking to gain expert-level insight into the material science behind press hardening. Over two intensive days, you’ll explore how microstructure evolution—from grain size to phase composition—directly impacts the mechanical performance of PHS components.
Through a blend of in-depth theory and hands-on lab work, you'll investigate the effects of process variables like heating temperature, transfer time, and cooling rate. Special attention is given to surface behaviour in coated vs. uncoated materials, with real analysis using widely applied steels like 22MnB5 and 34MnB5.
From austenitisation to metallography, you'll walk away with practical skills and scientific understanding needed to optimize material performance in real-world applications.
