The course provides a survey over the mostly used welding technologies and a basic metallurgical understanding for planning and realization of welded joints.
Objective
The students will gain the competence and understanding to select welding processes properly, to specify the seam preparation and to predict the achievable welding results.
Content
The cours presents in some detail the welding processes gas welding, TIG, MIG/MAG, Fillerwire welding arc welding and laser welding. After the resentation of the basics of welding the special properties of the different process technologies are explained and the energy sources and the interaction between the process energy and the material discussed. The metallurgical basics to answer material problems are presented. From this process parameters can then be derived, to achieve the desired seam qualities.
Lecture notes
will be distributed accompanying the course progress together with the lecture slides.
Prerequisites / Notice
The course is oriented twoards the requirements of IIW / SVS and is part of the program to attain the international welding engineer diploma (IWE).
