Illinois Buehler is offering SumMet Metallography classes in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom throughout 2018.
SumMet Fundamentals of Metallographic Techniques is a three-day course designed for both metallographers without formal training and experienced metallographers who want to learn the latest preparation techniques.
Dr. Mike Keeble, United States Laboratory and Technology Manager, said: “Buehler recognises the need to educate lab technicians with the most current equipment and methods. The fundamentals of sectioning, mounting, grinding and polishing are covered both in theory and practice in this course. They are based on the SumMet methods developed at Buehler since 1936. Students will also be exposed to optical microscopy, etching, hardness testing, and microstructural interpretation.”
Classes will be held at the Buehler headquarters in Lake Bluff, Illinois and in the company’s laboratories in Düsseldorf and Esslingen in Germany, and Coventry in the United Kingdom.
The United States class will be taught by Dr. Mike Keeble, who has 12 years of experience with Buehler - specialising in applications support, as well as more than ten years of experience in metallurgy Research and Development for key industries
such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy, metals and medical devices.
In Düsseldorf, Germany the class will be taught by Matthias Pascher, Buehler Product manager for hardness testing and imaging analysis. Mr Pascher has extensive applications support in metallography, hardness testing and imaging
analysis combined with a solid background in material science.
Classes in Coventry, United Kingdom will be taught by Dr. Evans Mogire, EMEA Laboratory and Technical Manager. Dr. Mogire has extensive experience in metallography of metallic, polymeric and ceramic materials, as well as more than
nine years of experience in metallurgy R&D.
