<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Registration is now open for the RMS <b>Quantitative Analysis of Grain Size Course
</b>which is taking place from<b> </b><b>14 March 2018</b> at the <b>AMRC Knowledge Centre, Sheffield, UK</b>.<br>
www.rms.org.uk/grain-size<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This one day course will focus on sample preparation, microscopy, manual and automatic grain size measurement. The course will give you the understanding and confidence to make the correct decision on grain size, taking into consideration
limitations and methods involved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The day itself will be split into 5 sessions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Session 1 will consider the sectioning of materials and surface preparation. Why Grain Size determination is important in materials. Standards and their application to specific materials. Importance of correct metallurgical sample preparation,
etching techniques for a range of materials.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Session 2 is a practical session and will allow hands-on measurement of example microstructures using a range of techniques including the statistical analysis of data gained. Methods will include measurement by hand using linear intercept,
planametric, ASTM Standards and comparison methods.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Session 3 will consider automated measurements including the analysis of more complex microstructures and how they relate to manual methods. Digital image analysis, single phase, multiphase and magnification effects.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Session 4 will look at the optical microscopy requirements. Namely correct Koehler setup, mounting the sample, inverted compared to upright microscope, connecting cameras, c-mounts and magnification.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]> Session 5 is a practical session allowing you to see a range of samples with the opportunity to measure your own samples with guidance from tutors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A number of materials samples and optical microscopes will also be available. Optical techniques used will include bright field, dark field, DIC and polarised light microscopy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Standard Registration is just £280.<i> </i>You can find out more and register at www.rms.org.uk/grain-size
