Saturdays, March 17th and 24th , 2012
Assabet Vocational School, Marlboro, MA
This is a comprehensive 2-day course for the hands-on craftsman, novice and professional alike. No previous knowledge or experience necessary. It will be taught in a way that the layman will be able to understand. Understanding metals from the atomic structure can be very beneficial to a craftsman in understanding how them move, why they strengthen, and how this can cause failure. Learning the language of metals can help in communicating with others in the field and getting into the books when problem solving. Problem solving requires the ability to retrace ones steps accurately, and an understanding of science is crucial. Fay has been teaching metals this way to non-metallurgists since 1989 and has been very successful. Hands on people with no college experience have found this very understandable and beneficial.
