ASM Digital Short Course: Vacuum Heat Treating Additively Manufactured Parts ASM is offering a new digital short course that teaches various vacuum heat treating processes for additively manufactured parts. This short course fo- cuses on annealing and stress relieving, solid- solution annealing, and solution treating and aging. It addresses several practical concerns involved in using vacuum heat treatment, including temperature measurement, unvented cavities, loose powder, and direct contact of metals in the high-temperature vacuum. Sintering and evaporation of metals in vacuum furnaces is also discussed. Students move at their own pace in this self-guided digital course aided by helpful visuals, narrated animations, and interactive quizzes. For more information, visit https:// bit.ly/380GBMv.
