Forging Industry Specific CoursesFerrous Metallurgy for Forging Plant PersonnelDescription:Ferrous metallurgy is an intense and complex science. It is a process that combines a sophisticatedknowledge of steel classification, cutting and shearing, heating for forging, forging processes, heattreat and grain flow, testing for mechanical properties, and non-destructive testing.Ferrous Metallurgy for Forging Plant Personnel presents you with the essential theories behind ferrous metallurgyso that you can apply these theories in your workplace and grow inthe forging industry. Whilethe scope of this course is not all inclusive, it provides a solid foundation for all forging plant staffmembers.Instructor:Forging Industry Association (FIA), headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, is the only organization thatoffers process-specific information, provides statistical, training, educational and technical services;and serves as a common voice on legislative and regulatory issues on behalf of the metal forgingcommunity in North America. FIA and its members are dedicated to the continuing development ofthe forging industry. FIA supports this development through increasing the level of knowledge aboutthe forging process and its advantages; providing customers with information to source forgings;developing new technologies and applications; continuous process improvement; providing ongoing educational opportunities; developing new markets; and offering benchmarking opportunities.Duration:15 hrsObjectives:Ferrous Metallurgy for Forging Plant Personnel is specifically designed to help you understandthe basic principles of ferrous metallurgy. For example, you will (1) learn the basics about steelclassification, (2) study the principles of cutting and shearing, (3) explore the components of heatingfor forging, (4) understand forging processes, (5) learn the elements of heat treat and grain flow,(6) gain an overview of testing for mechanical properties, and (7) understand the basics about nondestructive testing.Fundamentals of Forging 101Description:Forging is a scientific process that may mystify you if you are not schooled in the technical aspectsof our industry. The purpose of Forging Fundamentals 101 is to clarify for you the fundamentals ofthe forging process in language that you can understand, regardless of your position. As technologyadvances, it is becoming more and more important for forging professionals to grasp the sciencebehind the forging process. The eight modules below are designed to help you do so. These modulesmust be taken in sequence; the knowledge you gain from each one is necessary for completing thenext one in the sequence. Please start your mastery of Forging Fundamentals 101 with Module 1,and take the modules in order, ending with Module 8.At the end of each module, there is a brief quiz to help you check your understanding of what youlearned. At the end of Module 8, there is a longer test which will assess your mastery of the material in all eight modules. Again, you must complete the modules in order. Click on Module 1 belowto get started.Instructor:John Walters, Scientific Forming5

Duration:Each of the eight modules are rated at .75 hrs. eachObjectives:Module 1, Upon completion of this module, you will have a working familiarity with the most commonequipment and processes used in the forging industry.Module 2, Upon completion of this module, you will demonstrate a working understanding of thevarious mechanical stages of the deformation process and you will better understand the conceptsof stress and strain as they relate to deformation.Module 3, After completing this course, learners will have an enhanced understanding of the physical fundamentals of the forging process. They will be able to recognize the principles of work, force,and energy, as well as some of the basic laws of physics, at work in forging.Module 4, Upon completion of this course, users will demonstrate an enhanced understanding ofthe fundamentals of heat transfer and forging.Module 5. This module is designed to heighten your understanding of the fundamental aspects ofcontact during the forging process.Module 6, This module is designed to heighten your understanding of the various equipment usedin a forging operation, including the practical/economical operating range, best practices for usingequipment, applications, and benefits of the most common types of forging equipment.Module 7, This module is designed to heighten your understanding of the aspects of die failureModule 8, This module is designed to heighten your understanding of forging defects—types, causes,and processes to help avoid defects.Hammer Safety for the Forging IndustryDescription:This online course provides users with a general overview of safety precautions and practices associated with effective use of forging hammers. Nothing in this course should substitute for your owncompany’s policies or training you have received on specific equipment. Major issues associated withsafe hammer operation are covered and users are given the opportunity to test their understandingof safety concepts through several short quizzes.Instructor:The Forging Industry Association Safety and Health Committee is dedicated to providing reference,information, service and training specific to forging industry for the purpose of reducing accidentincidence rates, lowering workers’ compensation costs and promoting a safer and more productiveworkplace.This program was made possible through a grant from the Forging Industry Educational and Research Foundation (FIERF).Duration:.75 hrsObjectives:After completing this course, forging industry employees should be able to demonstrate an enhancedunderstanding of critical workplace health and safety practices when operating hammer equipment.Seguridad en Martillos para la Industria de la ForjaDescription:Este curso en línea provee al alumno una revisión general sobre precauciones y prácticas seguras enel uso de martillos de forja. Ninguno de los temas revisados en este curso sustituye el entrenamientoespecífico que se ha recibido en el lugar de trabajo. Los principales problemas asociados con laoperación segura de martillos han sido cubiertos, los alumnos tendrán la oportunidad de probar sucomprensión de conceptos de seguridad por medio de pruebas rápidas.6
