Experience a comprehensive
and engaging hands-on workshop at LECO that connects the science of heat
treatment with the practical skills needed to evaluate material performance.
Using your own samples, you’ll explore how thermal processing shapes microstructure
and hardness, then learn to capture those differences through proper
metallographic preparation—from sectioning and mounting through grinding and
polishing—to produce high-quality specimens ready for analysis.
Building on this foundation,
our specialists will guide you through the full operation and programming of
the AMH55 series microhardness testing system, including hardness mapping,
automated workflows, data management, and custom report creation. Designed for
metallurgists, heat treaters, quality professionals, and lab technicians, this
workshop provides a complete, start-to-finish learning experience that enhances
both your technical understanding and your practical skills. You’ll leave with
deeper insight into processing–property relationships and the confidence to
execute precise, repeatable microhardness testing in your own laboratory.
