1 In consideration of the reference table AA of the program "Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering", this course contributes to the development, to the acquisition and to the evaluation of the following experiences of learning:
  • AA1.1, AA1.2, AA1.3
  • AA2.2, AA2.4, AA2.5
  • AA3.1, AA3.2
  • AA5.2, AA5.3, AA5.4
  • AA6.1, AA6.2
  • Understand the main characteristics of each welding process.
  • Choose the best welding process for a given assembly.
  • Understand the physical principles underlying the joining operations by welding.
  • Anticipate the modifications of the microstructure that will be the result of a given welding operation (phase transformation, defects, ').
  • Discuss the consequences of the welding operation on the thermal cycle and the resulting residual stresses and distortions.
 
Content
  • Definition of welding, welding joint and weldability.
  • Influence of the heat input.
  • The welding processes: gas welding, arc welding, resistance welding, ...
  • The evolution of the properties in the heat affected zone of the welded joint.
  • Causes and solutions to avoid the main types of cracking.
