Heat Treatment is the procedure of heating and cooling metals to change their physical and mechanical properties without changing their shape. Basically, it is a mechanism for strengthening materials but could also be used to transform some mechanical properties such as improving formability, machining, etc. This module helps you to understand the different Heat Treatment process that is required to change metals' physical and chemical properties. The purpose of this technical e-learning course is to enable you to assess your existing knowledge through a pre-test, then lay out the objectives and demonstrate the process through real-life case studies, simulations, and process diagrams. This course is driven by easy-to-remember blueprints and graphs, making it a memorable learning experience for the candidate. The module takes us through the best heat treatment processes in the industry, demonstrated by TATA Steel's in-house practices.

Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with heat and temperature, and their relation to energy, work, radiation, and properties of matter. The behavior of these quantities is governed by the four laws of thermodynamics. It applies to a wide range of fields in engineering, especially chemical engineering and mechanical engineering, and also in fields as complex as meteorology. Thermo-dynamics is the subject of the relation of heat to forces acting between contiguous parts of bodies, and the relation of heat to electrical agency.

Materials Science is related to the design and discovery of new materials, specifically solids. The origins of materials science derive from the Enlightenment when researchers started to use analytical thinking from chemistry, physics, and engineering to understand ancient, phenomenological observations in metallurgy and mineralogy.
