ATWD 1100 - Welding Metallurgy

Credit Hours: 2.00

Objectives:

1. Explain the manufacturing of steel.
2. Use the various steel identification systems.
3. Recognize the effects of alloying elements in metals.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to determine the welding processes and methods of welding.

Objectives:

1. Determine the various welding processes and methods of welding (of specific types of metals).
2. Observe simple welding in metals, iron and steel, for temperature and structural changes of the metals during welding.
3. Determine the effect of fluxes, slags, and gases for welding.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to identify the metallurgical change that takes place between metals.

Objectives:

1. Observe the metallurgical change that takes place between the welded base metal and weld filler metal.
2. Explain the effects of temperature change on the structure and properties of metals.
