Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

1.   Describe the basic properties of all ferrous metals.

2.   Describe the process of mining, extraction and refining of ores to metals.

3.   Identify metals and alloys using the periodical table of elements or tables of alloys numbering systems.

4.   Explain various crystal structures.

5.   Explain heat treatment processes and surface hardening techniques pertinent to steel alloys.

6.   Use handout materials, text and library materials to do research on metallurgical alloys.
