WELDING ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY

Objective: to introduce the student to the basic casting and welding techniques. The student should understand the basic principles for the design of cast engineering components and to prescribe the suitable welding method for metallic constructions. He should become able to perform calculations concerning the strength of weldments, the residual stresses and distortion of welded structures.
