2-Day Course

COURSE OBJECTIVE:                                                             
The objective of this course is to provide an understanding of stamping failures through analysis
of metallurgical properties and behavior of steel during forming processes. It will provide a
detailed review of the latest material grades (including advanced high strength and dual phase materials) and countermeasures for addressing stamping defects. A methodology for Successful Failure Analysis using metallurgical, die & part, and press perspectives will be presented.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

Tooling Supervisors, Process, Manufacturing, Quality, and Tooling Engineers, and Tool and
Die Makers.
