Heat treatment expertise in hot demand

Hub CI Dr Michael Bermingham was invited to train local industry in metallurgical science and engineering to upskill production staff in the metals heat treatment industry. As an academic consultant, Dr Bermingham delivered a series of tailored workshops for 14 staff members across the theory of metals science, manufacturing and heat treatment, as well as practical training on metallography. The workshops were delivered directly at the manufacturing site using the industry equipment, allowing for students to gain hands on metallographic preparation experience. The dissemination of specialist knowledge for the benefit of Australian SMEs is a priority for AMMD Hub.
