Welding Theory and Technology (FSI-HS2-K)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: Ing. Marian Sigmund, Ph.D., IWE  
Supervising institute: ÚST all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The main objective of the course is to provide students with the theoretical foundations and methodology necessary for solving welding and weldability of metals. It prepares students to apply the acquired knowledge when doing class and diploma projects, and for further studies.
Learning outcomes and competences:
The subject Welding Theory and Technology provides students with basic information describing the structure,properties and defects of welding joints, HAZ and about related conventional and non-conventional welding processes.
Prerequisites:
1. Fe – Fe3C equilibrium diagram, 2. TTT and thermo-kinetic diagrams, 3. Testing of mechanical properties of metals, 4. Heat treatment of steels. 5 . Basic knowlage welding methods.
Course contents:
The course deals with the following topics: Theoretical conditions of the production and existence of a welding joint with respect to welding materials, energetic sources, physical-chemical and metallurgical processes taking place by metallic materials welding. Degradation processes of welding material by thermal deformation cycle. Stress and deformation in welding. Weldability of metallic materials. Principles and theories of individual welding methods and thermal cutting. Brazing of materials. Thermal spraying. Destructive and non-dstructive testing of welds.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The course is finalized with the course-unit credit.
The final exam will be composed of written and oral part.
It is classificated to the ECTS grading scale.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance in lectures is recommended.
Attendance in exercises is compulsory.
The attendance to the seminar is regularly checked and the participation in the lesson is recorded.
