WELD 2680 Welding Metallurgy
This course introduces the effects of welding and heat treatment on commercial metals. Students will experiment with simple methods of identification and will evaluate metal samples to understand the effects on the grain tructures and behavior of these metals under various applications. The students are introduced to the process of steel, stainless steel, and cast iron production. The chemistry composition of other various types of special metals, the definition of alloys, and ferrous and nonferrous metals will also be discussed. (3 lect.)
