Carbon & Alloy Steels

This virtual training course is designed for all individuals who work with steels. You will learn how carbon steels, low-alloy steels, and alloy steels are addressed in ASTM Standards, improving your ability to identify steels for a given application; and by using ASTM Standards, understand the technical requirements for each type of steel, as well as meaningfully evaluate supplied steel chemistry and mechanical properties. These new skills will improve your ability to identify the correct ASTM specification, grade, and their requirements when ordering steel products and reviewing material test reports (MTRs). These goals are achieved through the use of many Connecting-the-Standards© examples, including: ASTM product specifications, general requirements specifications, test methods, and terminology standards. Learning Objectives Compare and contrast the different types of ASTM standards and how they are applied to steels Correctly classify steels as being a: carbon steel, low-alloy steel, or alloy steel as defined in ASTM standard terminology Explain how ASTM carbon and alloy steel product specifications and grades are designated and how they differ from other steel designations like SAE and AISI Navigate ASTM steel standards to identify mechanical and chemical requirements for carbon, low-alloy, and alloy steels and how these requirements may differ with varying product forms (e.g., plate, pipe, forging, etc.) Apply and evaluate mechanical properties requirements based on chemical composition of carbon, low-alloy, and alloy steels and how these requirements should be specified Explain how the ASTM A370 standard for mechanical testing of steel products is used for carbon, low-alloy, and alloy steels Describe common applications for carbon, low-alloy, and alloy steels Explain the roles of chemical elements in steels Intended Audience This virtual training course is designed for all personnel involved with steels, such as, engineers, inspectors, QA/QC technicians, NDE examiners, purchasers, inventory control personnel, tradespeople, manufacturing and repair companies, engineering procurement companies, and others working in most industries that use steel, including: civil construction (buildings, bridges), pressure equipment, ship building, water treatment, pipelines, oil and gas industries (oilfield, upgraders, refineries, etc.), chemical plants, petroleum refining, petrochemical plants, power plants, pulp and paper plants, fertilizer plants, and many others. Continuing Education Upon successful completion of this course, learners will receive a digital Certificate of Completion granting 7 CPD hours.
