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 6 Hrs online programme on "Metallurgy for non-metallurgist-Ferrous Materials".

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 program will be conducted by Mr Ganapathi K N.
Ganapathi K N is the Advisor Training of IMTMA Technology Centre having 16 years of industrial and 14 years of academic experience. He is a postgraduate in metal casting science and engineering from UVCE Bengaluru. Prior to working at IMTMA, he has worked in various capacity in both Ferrous and nonferrous foundries. He has also imparted specialized training on Metallurgy, Heat treatment and other manufacturing processes domain to more than 500 engineers across manufacturing companies in India. He has also taught the above topics to postgraduate engineering students. At IMTMA, his role is to develop and introduce new programs for enhancing the competitiveness of industry.
