Welding Metallurgy

Catalog description

As an introduction to metallurgy, this course helps students develop an understanding of basic metallurgical principles as they apply to fusion welding to improve quality of workmanship in the field of welding. The course material will cover the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of metals as applied to welding applications. Welding metallurgy for welders will cover heat treating processes for metals, physical and mechanical properties of metals, metal identification, carbon equivalency, filler metal selection, heat input and its effects on the weld zone (HAZ) and the effects of heat treating and stress relieving applications within the welding field.
