EM 410 - Joining of Metals ( Processo de Ligação de Metais )
Properties and classification of welding processes. Shielded metal arc welding. Submerged arc welding. MIG/MAG welding. Electric resistance welding. Soldering and brazing. Weldability of C and C/Mn steels. Postweld heat treatments. Welding distorsion. Welding procedure qualification. Joint preparation. Welding economics. Weld defects and non destructive testing. Objectives The course has as its main objectives to introduce the techniques of welding and brazing/soldering. Upon completion of the course the student should: - Have a basic knowledge of the most important welding technologies and the main parameters that control them. - Be aware of the main constraints of the joining techniques studied in comparison with other alternative methods. - Understand the weldability concept and main difficulties associated to these techniques. - Learn how to design structure/components for manufacturing by welding. |
