EWLD 588 - Metallurgy of Welds

3 credits (Hrs: 3 Lec.)

Course covers arc welding processes, including physics of the arc, heat flow, chemical reactions in the weld metal, weld pool mechanics, and residual stresses. Microstructures within the various zones in a weld (weld metal, partially melted zone, and heat-affected zone) are characterized for ferrous and non-ferrous alloys (carbon, alloy, and stainless steels and aluminum alloys). Weld defects are characterized and weldability tests are examined.
