As an engineer, you’ve probably used a steel product. In fact, it would be challenging to navigate today’s world without using a steel product. From giant skyscrapers to miniature bolts and rivets, steel has become so common, so unremarkable, that the extraordinary brainpower and massive engineering feat behind steelmaking is rarely at the forefront of people’s minds.

Written for the non-metallurgist, this course uses graphics, photos, and simple language to illustrate the magnificent journey required to produce steel.

From a manufacturing standpoint, the process is outlined from the starting point at the steel mill through secondary processing at the mill or service center up to the point of forming and fabrication. This course also covers basic metallurgy. It explains atomic arrangements and dislocations, steel microstructures, and strengthening techniques. The metallurgical basis provides a foundation for a practical finale: steel specifications and grades.

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • How steel mills create various steel products from basic resources
  • The differences between integrated steel mills and mini mills
  • Steel from an atomic standpoint, including atomic arrangements and dislocations
  • Steel microstructures and strengthening techniques
  • Mechanical properties, including strength, ductility, hardness, and toughness
  • Alloying effects
  • Processes used to produce custom sizes and shapes
  • Steel specifications and grades

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
