Description

Master the Essentials of Forging Quality and Accelerate Your Career in Manufacturing

If you work in a forging facility—or plan to—understanding the quality functions that support this unique manufacturing process is essential to your success.

Whether you're a quality engineer new to forging, a production technician stepping into a quality role, or a manager looking to build foundational knowledge, this course is designed specifically for you.

Why This Course?

Forging is unlike any other manufacturing process. It demands precision, discipline, and deep knowledge of both materials and methods. Yet most professionals working in or around forging receive little formal training in forging-specific quality systems.

That’s why we created “Fundamentals of Forging Quality”—a practical, jargon-free course designed to give you the confidence, language, and tools to succeed in your role.

What You'll Learn: The 9 Core Areas of Forging Quality

This 3.5-hour course walks you through the critical topics every forging quality professional needs to understand:

  1. Material Specification and Verification
    (Material grades, mill certifications, spectrometry basics)

  2. Forging Design Quality
    (Reading prints, machining stock allowance, non-conformances)

  3. Process Quality and the 6Ms
    (Fishbone diagrams, billet temperature monitoring, root cause analysis)

  4. Process Auditing
    (Layered Process Audits, audit templates, identifying variation)

  5. Dimensional Inspection
    (Gage selection, dimensional analysis, understanding gage error)

  6. Mechanical Properties Testing
    (Charpy impact, Rockwell & Brinell hardness, tensile testing methods)

  7. Metallurgical Testing
    (Defect identification, grain flow analysis, sample preparation)

  8. Visual Defects in Forgings
    (Scale, flash, underfill, mechanical damage)

  9. Nondestructive Testing (NDT)
    (Dye penetrant, magnetic particle, eddy current basics)

Built for Real-World Success

This isn’t a theory-heavy academic lecture—it’s a hands-on, practical course built from over 12 years of experience as a quality manager at a Tier 1 forging supplier in the automotive industry.

You’ll learn the same tools and techniques used in top-performing forging operations today—tools you can apply immediately in your workplace.

What You Get with Enrollment

  • 3.5 hours of engaging video instruction

  • Quizzes at the end of each section to reinforce key concepts

  • Downloadable templates for real-world use

  • Lifetime access to all course materials and future updates

  • Certificate of Completion to document your training

  • Instructor Q&A support through Udemy’s platform

Who Should Take This Course?

  • Quality Engineers and Technicians working in forging

  • Manufacturing and Process Engineers supporting forging operations

  • Managers, Supervisors, and Operators in need of forging-specific quality insight

  • Quality professionals transitioning into the forging industry

  • Anyone preparing to work in a forging environment and wants to hit the ground running

Gain the Skills That Set You Apart

If you’ve ever felt unsure about the specific quality tools used in forging—or you’re ready to take your expertise to the next level—this is the course that will get you there. No advanced knowledge or prior training is required.

You’ll walk away with a solid foundation in forging quality and the confidence to speak the language of quality inside your organization.
