APPLY SURFACE ENHANCEMENT AND FINISHING TECHNOLOGIES (42 HOURS)

Apply Surface Enhancement and Finishing Technologies

Most components used in many industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, or energy are subjected to heavy and demanding operating conditions. As such, these components need to be enhanced to achieve the desired functional performance, aesthetics and high fatigue life. These value-added enhancements can be realised through a myriad of surface enhancements and finishing technologies. It is thus important to understand the fundamentals and principles of these technologies, in particular, state-of-the-art mechanical and laser techniques and how these processes react with materials to better optimise the process efficiency, product quality and cost to maximise the economic benefits for businesses.

This module introduces the fundamentals of surface enhancement and finishing processes via mechanical and laser techniques, such as rolling, peening, burnishing, mechanical finishing processes (eg. vibratory bowl finishing), drag finishing, abrasive flow machining, magneto-rheological finishing and grinding, laser surface treatment for functionalities and marking, laser peening and laser finishing processes. Participants will gain a solid understanding of these processes and the issues and effects on work substrates. Participants will also be guided through hands-on project-based sessions on real-world industrial topics using SIMTech equipment and instruments to further enhance their understanding of surface enhancement and finishing technologies and applications in the manufacturing industry.

Why This Course

  • Highly practical and intensive
  • Latest knowledge and up-to-date technology
  • Case studies highlighting industrial application
  • >Expert trainers in the field with industrial experience

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for engineers, researchers and technicians from the precision engineering, electronics, aerospace, automotive and other relevant industrial sectors.

    Eligible for SkillsFuture Entreprise Credit (SFEC)

    SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)

    The SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) was first introduced during the Singapore’s Budget 2020 and then recently expanded to a larger group of employers in Budget 2022. It encourages employers to invest in enterprise transformation and capabilities of their employees. Eligible employers will receive a one-off S$10,000 credit to cover up to 90% of out-of-pocket expenses on qualifying costs for supportable initiatives, over and above the support levels of existing schemes.

    Submission of SFEC Claim

    Employers are required to submit their SFEC claims manually via its microsite if they fulfil any of the following scenarios:

    • Employers have sent their foreign employees (excluding foreign employees who hold Long-Term Visit Pass Plus) for training on a SFEC eligible course;

    Employers can only submit the claims for SFEC after their employees have completed the training course(s). Click here to download the SFEC Claim e-guide.

    NOTE: You will require a Corppass account with "EPJS_User" role assigned prior to login to your account to manage your claims.

    If you are unsure whether your company is eligible for SFEC, you may submit an enquiry to Enterprise Singapore (ESG) via here for their response.
