Special Technology of Welding

SThe course focuses on the theoretical foundations, technological principles, and industrial applications of modern methods of welding, brazing, and material cutting (e.g., plasma welding, electron beam welding, laser welding, electroslag welding, ultrasonic welding, diffusion welding, explosive welding, aluminothermic welding, friction welding, flux-cored arc welding, electrogas welding, arc stud welding, plasma cutting, laser cutting, waterjet cutting, flame gouging, carbon arc gouging, etc.).
Students will become familiar with the physical principles of individual processes, equipment design, technological parameters, quality control, economic aspects, as well as possibilities for automation and robotization of manufacturing processes. mphasis is placed on comparing the methods in terms of their suitability for specific materials, thicknesses, and operating conditions, for example in nuclear power plants.
