By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand thermal conductivity and how heat is transferred in ceramic materials 
• Apply Fourier’s Law to describe conductive heat flow and thermal gradients
• Explain the role of phonon scattering and solid-state physics in thermal behaviour 
• Interpret how temperature, composition, and structure affect thermal conductivity
• Describe and compare measurement techniques, including Laser Flash Analysis and supporting methods
• Calculate or interpret thermal conductivity using diffusivity, density, and heat capacity relationships
• Understand thermal shock mechanisms and how thermal/mechanical properties influence failure

• Thermal behaviour
• Heat transfer
• Conductivity analysis
• Thermal testing
• Failure prevention

• Materials scientists and engineers working with ceramic materials
• Process and manufacturing engineers involved in high-temperature applications
• Design engineers selecting materials for thermal performance and reliability
• R&D professionals developing advanced materials or components
• Quality and testing engineers interpreting thermal property data
• Early-career professionals building a foundation in ceramic behaviour

• 1 day of in-person training, held at Lucideon's Headquarters and the AMRICC Centre in Staffordshire.
• This course includes a tour of Lucideon’s testing facilities and the AMRICC Centre, a unique open-access facility that translates materials, processes and technologies into real-world products and solutions through the commercialisation of innovative ideas.
• Practical demonstrations and hands on activities form part of the course. Please ensure you attend wearing closed toe shoes, any further required PPE will be provided for you.
• Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
