Students explore metallurgical principles affecting welding, including preheat, interpass, and post-weld heat treatment. The course compares welding on low-carbon versus high-carbon steels, discusses material protection during welding, and covers heat input limitations. Emphasis is on qualifying welding procedures (PQR) and understanding how metallurgy impacts weld quality.
Outcomes
- Apply metallurgical principles to enhance welding quality
- Differentiate welding techniques for low-carbon and high-carbon steels
- Implement appropriate heat treatments and material protections during welding
