WELDENG Welding Engineering
General Information
This is a graduate level course that will be taught at the same time as 4001. Lecture content will be the same as 4001, but graduate
students will be required to conduct detailed review of research papers related to resistance welding provide brief class
presentations.
Course Goals
Understand how the physical laws affect the observed phenomenon in welding processes.
Through an understanding of the physical laws and the observed welding phenomenon, be in a better position to predict the effects
of welding variable changes on welding process behavior
Understand the design of electrical power supplies and systems for arc welding.
Predict joint fill rates and nugget areas for typical arc welding processes.
Design experiments and analyze results to develop welding process procedure specifications
