Different alloys\, different forms\, different properties\, and different conditions. Ever wonder at the ability of mills to produce huge quantities of metal that consistently meets customer requirements? Both are a result of applying metallurgy (science of metals) to develop and produce alloys capable of meeting a wide variety of application requirements. \nDesign teams depend on the wide range of metals available to design components that will be used in products. Attend this webinar to learn about the role of metallurgy in metal production and product design and the considerations made by design engineers when they select alloys to use in their products. \nPresenter: Michael Pfeifer\, Ph.D.\, P.E. is also the instructor of MSCI’s Fundamentals of Metallurgy class.
