Learning outcomes

To give the students

  • knowledge of materials technology applied on welded constructions and structural members
  • knowledge of application of strength on welded structural members
  • knowledge of how welding energy affects conditions of materials technology
  • knowledge of application of fracture mechanics on welded constructions, pressure vessels etc.
  • ability to perform design calculations on a welded component
  • ability to calculate the limitations for an optimised choice of material
  • ability to analyse defect tolerance of a casualty critical construction.

Course main content

Continued education in welding and welding related material technology, with a focus on common welding technology problems. Main topics include weldability of different steel materials and welding methods, but aluminum welding is also discussed. Continued studies of strength in welded constructions and structural members, including fatigue and critical crack dimensions. Laboratory exercises in practical welding.

Disposition

The classes are concentrated to two full days of studies, in average every second week during two months (Oct-Dec). In between classes, homework assignments and preparation work have to be completed. High degree of attendance to classes is required. The course includes laboratory exercises in welding.

Eligibility

Basic eligibility and 120 hp in Mechanical Engineering

Literature

Svetsningens materialteknologi, all litteratur i svets ak, samt en del nytt som utdelas på lektionerna.
