Educational Classes <strong>Buehler</strong> Education Schedule The cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g quest <strong>for</strong> <strong>in</strong>creased product quality and reliability requires a more thorough test<strong>in</strong>g of materials, which <strong>in</strong>cludes microstructural analysis. In addition, the analysis of <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>gly complex composites and advanced materials is challeng<strong>in</strong>g the adequacy of exist<strong>in</strong>g methods <strong>for</strong> specimen preparation. These two factors have created a demand <strong>for</strong> improved preparation and analysis techniques. Besides offer<strong>in</strong>g equipment and consumables <strong>for</strong> this purpose, <strong>Buehler</strong> offers tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g courses <strong>for</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividuals to obta<strong>in</strong> or improve the neccessary metallographic skills. <strong>Buehler</strong> established the Institute <strong>for</strong> Microstructural Analysis <strong>in</strong> 1989, offer<strong>in</strong>g both general courses at an <strong>in</strong>troductory level plus more specialized courses that focus on the needs of specific <strong>in</strong>dustries or technologies. All courses stress supervised hands-on activities <strong>in</strong> the laboratory with classroom <strong>in</strong>struction to help the students understand the basic pr<strong>in</strong>ciples. Courses are offered at the <strong>Buehler</strong> headquarters <strong>in</strong> Lake Bluff, Ill<strong>in</strong>ois, as well as <strong>Buehler</strong>’s office <strong>in</strong> Irv<strong>in</strong>e, Cali<strong>for</strong>nia or a nearby location. Institute <strong>for</strong> Microstructural Analysis Courses, <strong>Buehler</strong> (USA) For registration and additional course <strong>in</strong><strong>for</strong>mation regard<strong>in</strong>g the Institute <strong>for</strong> Microstructural Analysis course program, please contact Sharbari Banerjee at our Lake Bluff office: Telephone: (847) 295-4548, Fax: (847) 295-7942 or e-mail: sharbari.banerjee@buehler.com METALLOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES (3 DAYS) Course Code: ED-10078 This three day course is designed <strong>for</strong> those without <strong>for</strong>mal tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> specimen preparation, as well as <strong>for</strong> the experienced metallographer who wants to be updated on the latest techniques. The pr<strong>in</strong>ciples and practices of metallography are taught <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the fundamentals of section<strong>in</strong>g, mount<strong>in</strong>g, gr<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g and polish<strong>in</strong>g. Sessions on light optical microscopy, etch<strong>in</strong>g, hardness test<strong>in</strong>g, microstructural <strong>in</strong>terpretation and analysis are <strong>in</strong>cluded. The student will learn to apply contemporary procedures to become more effective <strong>in</strong> prepar<strong>in</strong>g various types of specimens. Students are encouraged to br<strong>in</strong>g their own specimens. April 5-7 (Lake Bluff) August 2-4 (Lake Bluff) November 29 - December 1 (Lake Bluff) ELECTRONIC DEVICES (3 DAYS) Course Code: ED-10079 Students attend<strong>in</strong>g this three day course are taught the basics of metallographic specimen preparation of packages, microelectronic chips, circuit boards and flexible circuits. Attention is given to low-stress, low-de<strong>for</strong>mation section<strong>in</strong>g of electronic materials, mount<strong>in</strong>g techniques that protect sensitive components, and polish<strong>in</strong>g methods that m<strong>in</strong>imize rel PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF AUTOMATIC IMAGE ANALYSIS (2 DAYS) Course Code: 86-2000-002 This is a two day course teach<strong>in</strong>g the practical applications of image analysis. Imag<strong>in</strong>g operations such as image clarifications, threshold<strong>in</strong>g (B/W & color), b<strong>in</strong>ary image modifications and measurements will be discussed. The primary emphasis is image analysis rout<strong>in</strong>e development. Analysis tasks such as the determ<strong>in</strong>ation of gra<strong>in</strong> size, coat<strong>in</strong>g thickness and many others will be illustrated us<strong>in</strong>g the OmniMet® Modular Digital Imag<strong>in</strong>g System. An understand<strong>in</strong>g of microstructural evaluation and specimen preparation is required. Students are encouraged to br<strong>in</strong>g their own specimens <strong>for</strong> analysis. 1.2 CEUs.
