This training is intended for professional development purposes and the certificate obtained does not replace the MYK authorization certificate in courses where MYK certification is mandatory.

Training Content

• Materials Used in Mold Production: Structural properties and application areas of steel, aluminum, cast iron, and composite materials.

• Material Selection Criteria and Performance Evaluation: Selection methods based on wear resistance, hardness, machinability, thermal conductivity, and cost analysis.

• Fundamentals and Purposes of Heat Treatment: Heating-cooling principles, changes in internal structure, and effects on material properties.

• Hardening Processes (Water Quenching and Oil Quenching): Surface and volumetric hardening techniques, temperature control, and cooling environments.

• Annealing, Tempering, and Normalizing: The role of stress relief, softening, and homogenization processes in production.

• Surface Hardening Techniques: Comparison of flame hardening, induction hardening, and nitriding surface treatments.

• Heat Treatment Furnaces and Equipment: Use of electric furnaces, gas atmosphere systems, vacuum heat treatment devices.

• Dimensional Changes and Warping in Heat Treatment: Methods to prevent material deformation, measurement techniques, and quality control measures.

• Applications for Extending Mold Life: Sustainability of production quality with correct material-heat treatment combinations.

• Practical Laboratory and Workshop Activities: Heat treatment applications on sample parts, microstructure observation, and hardness measurements.

The training is open to institutional collaborations (package for institution/company legal entities), and individual applications are not accepted. The training content can be reorganized according to your institutional participant profile and needs. As a result of mutual discussions, the scope and method of the training (face-to-face / online) are determined and the relevant processes are completed. In case of mutual agreement, the date, time, and location of the training are planned in line with the availability of your institution’s participants and our instructors.
