Buehler to host ferrous materials webinar Dec. 4-6

Buehler, an ITW company based in Lake Bluff, Ill., will sponsor a webinar about the testing of ferrous materials Dec. 4-6 in English, French, and German. The webinar will cover a variety of issues commonly encountered in both metallography and hardness testing of ferrous materials, including common problems and how to avoid them. Critical factors for ferrous materials sample preparation include blade selection, mounting selection, cost-effective preparation techniques, image analysis, and hardness testing.

The webinar is aimed at metallurgical technicians, engineers, and others who carry out metallographic preparation of ferrous materials in laboratories or production environments. The webinar will be conducted by the company’s global material scientists and will be applicable for those testing iron-based metals (steel, stainless steel, iron, iron-based superalloys) and most traditional heat- and surface-treatment materials (carburizing, nitriding, induction hardening).

The webinar also will delve into fundamental considerations for a variety of steel and stainless materials, coatings, and heat and surface treatments. It will include efficiency, quality, cost savings, etching for microstructure, accuracy, and reproducibility in hardness testing.
