Welding Processes, 6 Higher education credits

Svetsprocesser, 6 Högskolepoäng

Established: 2018-10-29

Established by: Department of Engineering Science

Applies from: V19

Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding in: • Fundamental concepts of physics of arc, heat source / heat flux, LASER, Electron Beam, solid state welding and thermal stress generation; • Main industry-applied welding processes, such as Resistance Welding, LASER Welding, Electron Beam Welding, conventional and waveform controlled arc welding processes; • Joints and fixtures for arc welding and operational welding imperfections; • Residual Stresses and Distortions.

Skills and abilities in: • Recognizing and describing each of the main processes, based mainly on heat source, feedstock and equipment components, and correlating each process to industrial applications, as a function of operational parameters such as material composition and thickness, welding position, production capacity and production line requirements; • Foreseeing the needs and niches for process improvements through research and technological development.

Judgements and approach: • To show a deep learning approach towards the subject, learn and understand independently, making comparisons, analyzing and getting conclusions independently.
