SYLLABUS/CONTENT

After a description of the typical structure of a welded joint (base material, heat affected zone, melted zone), the preparation techniques are analyzed. The typologies of defects occurring in a welded material are studied and the solution are analyzed. Next, the standard welding technologies (oxyfuel arc welding, shielded metal arc welding, submerged arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding) and innovative welding technologies (laser welding, electron beam welding, plasma arc welding, friction stir welding) are described.
