MJEG 6543 - Advanced Steel Welding Metallurgy

Modern steels are becoming very different from their traditional counterparts in extremely high strength (200 ksi in Advanced High Strength automotive sheet and 130 ksi in High Performance steel plate and tubular products, with good toughness and corrosion resistance. The course deals with modern steel manufacturing methods, effect of weld thermal cycles on Heat Affected Zone phenomena, post weld heat treatment and related problems (hydrogen-induced, solidification, liquation and reheat cracking). The course is offered in 14 week Distance Learning and 1 week on campus presence for labs and testing. Class 3. Prerequisite(s): ENGR 2313. Summer Semester Only
