19MEE34 ADVANCED WELDING TECHNOLOGY

ASSESSMENT : THEORY T

COURSE OBJECTIVE
To provide a strong foundation to under-graduate students of advanced welding technology on
welding process, design of welding and heat flow in welding.
COURSE OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, the students will be able to

Col: Categorize the fusion and solid state welding processes with its working principles, welding
characteristics, heat input and applications to select the process for the fabrication of
ifed component.
C02: Predict the percentage of phase in microstructure in steel weldments with respect to cooling
rate using TTT & CCT diagrams to obtain better mechanical and metallurgical properties towards
reducing residual stresses &distortions in weldments.
C03: Assess the weldability of ferous and non-ferrous mnaterials to point out the welding process
and welding procedures.
C04: Design to evolve good welded joint design for joining structural members subjected to static
and fatigue loading.
CO5: Differentiate and select the welding systems for engineering components and fulfill the
requirements for mass production.
