ICME delivered their Metallurgy for Non- metallurgists course to 14 delegates earlier this month.  The course was presented by Clive Clemens Hon FICME who shared his many years of knowledge and experience within the industry.

During the two-day course, delegates learned about simple phase diagrams, solidification metallurgy, aluminium alloys standards & specifications as well as the metallurgy of steel, cast irons, copper and copper alloys.  The course also included mechanical properties and testing methods, casting defects and their causes, heat treatment processes and surface treatments for castings as well as a basic intro to design for casting.
