Metallurgy is a branch of material science that focus on the physical and chemical behaviour of metallic elements and its alloys. Knowledge of metallurgy is very important for any design and production engineers. Design of any part generally based on Strength, which comes from alloy composition and metallurgical structure. It is not just enough if design engineer select right alloy but also have to specify metallurgical requirements to achieve required properties. Production engineers have to understand the metallurgical requirements and develop process to achieve that. Hence awareness of metallurgy play an important role in today's engineering world.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing a 2 day programme on "Metallurgy for non-metallurgist". This course provides important metallurgical knowledge to those who are not metallurgists. You will learn how metals can be made stronger, more corrosion resistant, formable etc. This course will help to choose right metals, alloys and processing solutions best suited for your production goals.

This programme will benefit Managers, Engineers from OEMs, MSMEs, R&D, NPD, Engineering Service Providers (ESP), Foundry engineers and supervisors, Faculties from academic institutes, Any foundry/MSMEs, Auto OEMs, Auto ancillaries, Pump manufacturers, Aerospace ancillaries, Defence & Railway Establishment (PSUs / OFBs), General Engineering, Engineering Service providers (ESP), Faculty from engineering colleges, Students from engineering colleges.

This Program will be conducted by Mr. Ganapathi K N.

Mr. Ganapathi K N, is a corporate trainer and consultant .Experience 16yrs. Industrial and 22yrs academic and training. He is a post graduate in metal casting science and engineering from UVCE Bengaluru.

Prior to working at IMTMA, Mr. Ganapathi has worked at various capacity in both Ferrous and nonferrous foundries. He has thorough understanding of all foundry operations and has experience of providing solutions to the foundry problems. He has also imparted specialized training on metal casting domain to more than 300 engineers across manufacturing companies in India. He has also taught metal casting topics to post graduate engineering students. At IMTMA, his role is to develop and introduce new programs for enhancing competitiveness of industry.
