Heat Treatment is the procedure of heating and cooling metals to change their physical and mechanical properties without changing their shape. Basically, it is a mechanism for strengthening materials but could also be used to transform some mechanical properties such as improving formability, machining, etc. This module helps you to understand the different Heat Treatment process that is required to change metals' physical and chemical properties. The purpose of this technical e-learning course is to enable you to assess your existing knowledge through a pre-test, then lay out the objectives and demonstrate the process through real-life case studies, simulations, and process diagrams. This course is driven with easy to remember blueprints and graphs, making it a memorable learning experience for the candidate. The module takes us through the best heat treatment processes in the industry, demonstrated by TATA Steel's in-house practices.

Metallurgy is the science that explores why metals behave the way they do. It explains the properties, behavior, and internal structure of metals. Metallurgy also describes the treatment and processes that allow us to tailor a metal’s properties to a specific application. As a material engineer study of basic metallurgy will help you to develop, design and operate processes that transform raw materials into useful engineering products intended to improve the quality of our lives. The module therefore explains how to extract the metals for industrial practices.

Desulphurization of hot metal is an important step in the steel production process. Sulphur in steel, negatively influences both mechanical and corrosion properties of the steel and causes of hot shortness. A major source of sulphur in the hot metal is from the coal used in the blast furnace. As the usage of lower grade coal is being more common, more sulphur is introduced into the hot metal. Thus, there is an increased need for efficient Desulphurization of hot metal. Thus the module explains the importance of Desulphurization in achieving the best quality of steel.

Bulk Material Handling is an engineering field that is centred on the design of equipment used for the handling of dry materials. Bulk materials are those dry materials that are powdery, granular or lumpy in nature and are stored in heaps. Examples of Bulk Materials are minerals, ores, coal, cereals, woodchips, sand, gravel, clay, cement, ash, salt, chemicals, grain, sugar, flour and stone in loose bulk form. It can also relate to the handling of mixed wastes. Bulk Material Handling is an essential part of all industries that process bulk ingredients including food, beverage, confectionery, pet food, animal feed, tobacco, chemical, agriculture, polymer, plastic, rubber, ceramic, electronics, metals, minerals, paint, paper, textiles and more.

Steel making is the process for producing steel from iron ore and scrap. In steel making, impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus, Sulphur and excess carbon are removed from the sourced iron, and alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, and vanadium are added to produce different grades of steel. Limiting dissolved gases such as nitrogen and oxygen, and entrained impurities (termed “Inclusions”) in the steel is also important to ensure the quality of the products cast from the liquid steel. The module takes us through the best steel making practices in an industry.

Our Metallurgy Package includes on-demand metallurgy courses. The Package covers deep theoretical knowledge about metallurgy and metals engineering and concepts that apply to component design, manufacturing process development, supplier evaluation, and solving quality problems.
