Caution! The seminar will only be held in German.

Training objective: In addition to theoretical explanations, the participant is introduced to the world of heat treatment and materials science by means of practical examples and made fit for dealing with heat treatment processes. After this training, the participant knows the advantages and limitations of the individual processes; he knows component-specific selection criteria for technically and economically sensible heat treatments and he knows how this special production technology can be used specifically for component optimization and problem solutions.

Requirements: Basic technical understanding, specialized knowledge of heat treatment is not required

Training content:
