Buehler Education Schedule<br />
Educational Classes<br />
The continuing quest <strong>for</strong> increased product quality and reliability requires a more thorough testing of materials, which includes<br />
microstructural analysis. In addition, the analysis of increasingly complex composites and advanced materials is challenging the<br />
adequacy of existing methods <strong>for</strong> specimen preparation. These two factors have created a demand <strong>for</strong> improved preparation and<br />
analysis techniques. Besides offering equipment and consumables <strong>for</strong> this purpose, Buehler offers training courses <strong>for</strong> individuals to<br />
obtain or improve the neccessary metallographic skills.<br />
Buehler established the Institute <strong>for</strong> Microstructural Analysis in 1989, offering both general courses at an introductory level plus more<br />
specialized courses that focus on the needs of specific industries or technologies. All courses stress supervised hands-on activities in<br />
the laboratory with classroom instruction to help the students understand the basic principles. Courses are offered at the Buehler<br />
headquarters in Lake Bluff, Illinois, as well as Buehler’s office in Irvine, Cali<strong>for</strong>nia or a nearby location.<br />

METALLOGRAPHIC<br />
TECHNIQUES (3 DAYS)<br />
Course Code: ED-10078<br />
This three day course is designed <strong>for</strong> those<br />
without <strong>for</strong>mal training in specimen<br />
preparation, as well as <strong>for</strong> the experienced<br />
metallographer who wants to be updated<br />
on the latest techniques. The principles<br />
and practices of metallography are taught<br />
including the fundamentals of sectioning,<br />
mounting, grinding and polishing.<br />
Sessions on light optical microscopy,<br />
etching, hardness testing, microstructural<br />
interpretation and analysis are included.<br />
The student will learn to apply<br />
contemporary procedures to become<br />
more effective in preparing various types<br />
of specimens. Students are encouraged to<br />
bring their own specimens.<br />
April 5-7 (Lake Bluff)<br />
August 2-4 (Lake Bluff)<br />
November 29 - December 1 (Lake Bluff)<br />
ELECTRONIC DEVICES (3 DAYS)<br />
Course Code: ED-10079<br />
Students attending this three day course<br />
are taught the basics of metallographic<br />
specimen preparation of packages,<br />
microelectronic chips, circuit boards and<br />
flexible circuits. Attention is given to<br />
low-stress, low-de<strong>for</strong>mation sectioning of<br />
electronic materials, mounting techniques<br />
that protect sensitive components, and<br />
polishing methods that minimize rel<br />
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF<br />
AUTOMATIC IMAGE<br />
ANALYSIS (2 DAYS)<br />
Course Code: 86-2000-002<br />
This is a two day course teaching the<br />
practical applications of image analysis.<br />
Imaging operations such as image<br />
clarifications, thresholding (B/W & color),<br />
binary image modifications and<br />
measurements will be discussed. The<br />
primary emphasis is image analysis<br />
routine development. Analysis tasks such<br />
as the determination of grain size, coating<br />
thickness and many others will be<br />
illustrated using the OmniMet® Modular<br />
Digital Imaging System. An understanding<br />
of microstructural evaluation and<br />
specimen preparation is required.<br />
Students are encouraged to bring their<br />
own specimens <strong>for</strong> analysis. 1.2 CEUs.<br />
