Applied Industrial Technology:
ADVANCED METALLURGY-HEAT TREATING (WLT 300)
Course Description
This course should give the participant the knowledge and skills to select various steels,
perform heat treating operations on steel, and strengthen and anneal aluminum.
Learning Outcome
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
1. select carbon, low alloy or tool steels for specific applications;
2. perform hardening or strengthening heat treating operations to specifications;
3. case harden low carbon and alloy steel;
4. anneal hardened steel;
5. normalize and stress relieve steel;
6. anneal aluminum for formability; and
7. strengthen annealed aluminum.
Course Objective
The participant will perform basic heat treating operations on carbon steel, alloy steel, tool
steel and aluminum.
Major Topics Covered
• Microstructural analysis
• Quenching and tempering
• Normalizing and stress relieving
• Aluminum heat treating and case hardening
Prerequisites
Fundamentals of Metallurgy (WLT 200). Participants should bring their book and WLT 200 course
material, as these will be the basis of the written training material.
Clothing Requirements
This hands-on class will require participants to perform some machining, grinding, and other
shop-related tasks. Work clothing and safety shoes are required.
