Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After passing this course, the student will be able to:
- thoroughly describe the materials technology of welding (weldability and how materials are affected)
- describe different metals and their alloys, and their properties in welded constructions
- describe how different pre- and post-treatment methods affects the materials
- describe advantages and disadvantages of different surface coating methods
- describe how the environment (corrosion, temperature, wear) affects materials and welded constructions
- analyse risks of a welded construction and its defect tolerance
- correctly select material and appropriate welding methodology
