Electroslag welding and ways of performing. Methods surfacing (welding). Heat treatment of welds after welding. Evaluation of defectiveness and diagnostics of joints. Soft and hard soldering. Bonded joints, advantages and disadvantages. Machining methods of metallic surfaces. Effects of machining parameters on the surface quality and tension. Materials for machining.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
- student will be able to describe methods of joining, evaluate and determine the weldability of materials, characterize the structure and properties of welded joints
- student will be able to clarify the choice of connections, describe criteria for selecting technology for joining, especially welding, evaluate properties of joints
- formulate basic methods and parameters for machining, assess or select a machining material, to know special methods of joining and machining
Course Contents
- Introduction. Principles and methods of mechanical machining (turning, milling, shaping, grinding).
- Parameters affecting the mechanical machining and their impact on the quality of the surface. Electrochemical machining.
- Materials for machine tools, machinability of materials. The selection of material for machining, tool wearing.
- The principle of materials joining (screw connection, V-joints, etc.) and permanent joining (welding, soldering, etc.) - overview and examples. - Fusion welding. Physical basis of the process. The essence of the arc. Melting and transfer of metal electrodes in an arc.
