Metallurgy Basics introduces learners to the science behind metals, their properties, and how they are processed for real-world use. This course is designed to give beginners a clear and practical understanding of how metals are formed, strengthened, tested, and protected against damage. From the earliest history of metalworking to modern alloy design, students will explore how metals shape industries such as engineering, manufacturing, construction, and technology.

Throughout the course, learners will study the structure and behaviour of metals, including iron, steel, aluminium, copper, and other important alloys. You will discover how metals respond to heat, pressure, and chemical exposure, and how these factors influence strength, durability, and performance. By understanding mechanical properties such as hardness, toughness, and tensile strength, students gain the foundation needed to evaluate materials for different applications.

The programme also covers key metallurgical processes such as ore processing, metal refining, alloying, and corrosion control. These topics help learners see how raw materials become usable products and how engineers ensure metals last longer and perform safely. Practical concepts such as metal identification and testing methods further build the ability to work confidently with different materials.

Designed for accessibility, the course presents technical ideas in a clear, easy-to-follow format that suits learners with little or no previous experience. By the end of the course, you will have the knowledge to understand metal types, choose suitable materials, and communicate effectively about metallurgical concepts in academic or professional settings.

Learners will receive a free course completion certificate, with multiple premium certificate and transcript options available for purchase if they wish. Students also have access to 5-star rated support available 24/7 through email.
