Strengthening Mechanisms of Non-Ferrous Alloys

Digital Short Course

The nonferrous metals principally used for industrial purposes are cop­per, aluminum, zinc, tin, nickel, lead, titanium, and magnesium. Most of the nonferrous metals cannot be hardened to a significant degree by the techniques used for hardening steels because most other metals and alloys do not undergo martensitic transformations. How­ever, the mechanical properties of most metals can be improved by cold work­ing, alloying, or by other heat treating processes. In this self-guided digital course, students will learn with the help of rich visuals, narrated animations, ASTM test procedures videos, and interactive quizzes effects of alloying elements on the strength of metals, age hardening, cold working and annealing and the optimal strengthening mechanisms for several groups of alloys.
