Syllabus

The course provides a global presentation on welding processes for joining and cladding applications, with a strong correlation to practical reality. In this context, the physical principles of the processes, types of energy sources, industrial applications, technological systems, welding automation, and monitoring and inspection techniques will be addressed, focusing on the most industrially relevant processes nationally. The content will be strongly supported by practical examples of Welding and its Automation applications in theoretical and practical classes.

Program

Overview of Welding Processes and their Automation;
MIG/MAG Process;
TIG Process;
Plasma Process;
Welding automation (constructive and functional characteristics, programming, applications, sensors);
Modern Variants of Arc Processes (Modified MIG/MAG; TIG with cathodic constriction, Double-Electrode TIG, pulsed wire fed TIG);
Monitoring and image analysis (high-speed filming, thermographic filming, conventional filming, electrical data acquisition);
Inspection of welded joints and claddings (ultrasound techniques, radiography, dye penetrant, visual inspection, magnetic particles).

Assessment Method
