Schedule

Get the same critical information but eliminate the costs of travel, rooming and time by logging onto the SMI online seminar, Overview of Spring Material Metallurgy and Processing, conducted by Luke Zubek, SMI Technical Director

Last class held June 6, 2006. Please check back for future dates.


SMI's online seminar is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. (Central time) which is:

2:00 p.m. - 2:45 p.m. Eastern
12:00 p.m. - 12:45 p.m. Mountain
11:00 a.m. - 11:45 p.m. Pacific

Participants will miss having the coffee breaks (unless you provide). Otherwise, it's as if they were actually in the classroom with the same detailed information and communication opportunities available to them.

 Agenda
During this information-packed 45-minute session participants will:
  • Develop a deeper insight into the metallurgical fundamentals of spring materials.
  • Review the importance of proper processing of spring materials, such as Plating, Patenting, Stress Relieving and Passivation.
  • Identify the differences between, and importance of, critical spring materials.
  • Discuss the importance of key fabrication variables and spring strengthening mechanisms.
  • Develop a better understanding of Hydrogen Embrittlement and how to avoid it.
    This seminar has been updated with some new material since it was last presented in 2005.
How it Works
Don't leave the conference room, because now you and your staff can participate in an multimedia online seminar that will help you assess and avoid spring failures.
The multimedia presentation is "Webcast," with audio connections by conference call. Price is set per computer terminal, so you can have as many people as possible clustered around the screen.
With the registration fee of $165/terminal (not per person), participants will receive the appropriate handouts, and telephone numbers and access codes to log onto the broadcast prior to the actual seminar.
Participants have the same ability to ask questions and develop a real-time give-and-take information session as if they were in the same room as the instructor, even though they may be hundreds of miles away.
Ask questions and take notes. This virtual seminar will save your company hundreds of dollars in travel expenses and time.
