Overview Project Motivation Experiments Results used for Website Development  Educational Modules Future Research

Ferrous Metallurgy Education Today curriculum development  Promote steel education  Encourage study of steel and careers in the steel industry  Enrich course material  Increasing MSE class sizes Project Motivation

Scope of Work Objective: Collect data at WSU that can be publicly shared for ferrous metallurgy education through a website  Experimentally determine structure- property-processing relationships  Develop learning modules to make information interactive and interesting

MSE 110 – Introduction to Materials Science MSE 320 – Material Structure-Property Laboratory MSE 401 – Metallic Materials ME 310 – Manufacturing Process Applications in Courses at WSU

1020 & 4140 steels Microstructure predictions based on TTT curves Samples heat treated for 1 or 8 hours  Aged at 427°C or Austenitized at 800°C  Quenched, air cooled, or furnace cooled Experiments
