Course Description: A one day course providing delegates with an understanding of the principles of testing and quality assurance systems for improving a process/business/testing systems. This course describes the energy-metal interactions exploited in structure and property determinations and, explains the philosophies and terminology associated with quality systems.

Course aims: This course describes the energy-metal interactions exploited in structure and property determinations and, explains the philosophies and terminology associated with quality systems

Learning Outcomes:
  • Familiarity with physical properties of metals
  • Understand the nature of interactions of energy (heat, sound and electromagnetic radiation) and metals
  • Describe how test methods exploit energy-metal interactions to probe structure and identify defects
  • Explain the difference between quality directives, codes and standards
  • Describe and apply the principles of ISO 9000 series and Six Sigma quality systems
Who Should Attend? Anyone requiring a clearer insight into the energy-metal interactions exploited in a diverse range of industrial metal testing scenarios and are also interested in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of a business/process/testing system. A module of the QCF level 3 Certificate in Metallurgy qualification
