Molybdenum uses
The stainless steel industry and several professional associations have developed some very useful educational programs, available free or reasonably priced. In combination with our downloadable free building and construction library and resource pages, they are a great way for architects, engineers, fabricators and other decision makers to increase their knowledge quickly.
Designing Structural Stainless Steel
American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) offers a 2-part, 3-hour webinar based on the AISC Steel Design Guide 27: Structural Stainless Steel. Part 1 provides an overview of the families of stainless steel and material selection, properties, specifications, history and other information. Part 2 includes the design rules and how the unique properties of stainless steel impact both design and fabrication. It is available without charge unless continuing education credit is desired. Learn about Designing Structural Stainless Steel.
Stainless Steels for Lecturers and Students of Architecture and Civil Engineering
The International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) has developed 11 short and informative educational modules for architecture and civil engineering students and educators. No prior knowledge of stainless steel is required. The modules can be downloaded in pdf or in a zipped powerpoint file format:
These courses are also available in French, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Polish, and Spanish on the ISSF website.
Stainless Steel Specialist Course
This ISSF 17 module training program is designed to improve knowledge of stainless steel and its properties, performance and applications using interactive e-learning modules. It is suitable for all engineers, fabricators, architects, sales and marketing staff, and others working with stainless steel.
Users can select the specific modules that are relevant to their information needs. A certificate of completion is provided after passing a test, identifying the specific modules studied. The cost is US$30 per module. Learn about the Stainless Steel Specialist Course.
Stainless Steels Self-Study Course
ASM International’s in-depth Stainless Steel Self-Study Course is intended for designers, technicians, fabricators, engineers, process engineers and maintenance engineers. It assumes at least a basic knowledge of the mechanical properties of steel. There is a fee.
Stainless Steels and Metallurgy for the Non Metallurgist courses
Both of these 4-day intensive live courses are conducted by ASM International at regular intervals and there is a fee.
The Stainless Steels course is intended for the same audience as the Stainless Steels Self-Study Course. Attendees will understand the mechanical and physical properties of the different stainless steels, alloy selection for specific applications, troubleshooting corrosion failure problems and the best processes to use in the manufacture of stainless steel components.
The Metallurgy for the Non Metallurgist course is for those involved in manufacturing, engineering and construction who need an understanding of metals, their behavior, relative strength, corrosion resistance and shaping by casting, forging, forming, machining, or welding.
Additional Resources
Additional courses, workshops, and symposiums are often available from stainless steel development associations, professional associations and standard setting organizations such as NACE and ASTM International. Please look at their websites for more information.
