Joining Processes for a Modern and Sustainable Manufacturing Industry

This course gives an overview of welding processes and their industrial applications, particularly from a sustainability perspective coupled with quality and productivity. The course will focus on arc welding processes and cover the basic topics including, arc physics, droplet transfer, heat input, optimization of welding parameters with the aim to make the welding process more efficient, more prodictive, and more sustainable. We will learn and dicuss together the most popular arc welding process applied in industry, including CMT, STT, K-tig, TIG DynamicWire, and other new welding process. You will learn the joining techniques for multi-material applied in automotive industry. You will get the opportunity to discuss about your application and needs which consequently enable you to select and optimize welding process and parameters in line with a better productivity and sustainability in welding. The course is mainly delivered via distance learning in a flexible, net-based form with two physical meetings. On-line lectures are combined with supervision, discussion, and reporting meetings using web-based meeting systems. Some course meetings are compulsory. This course is aimed at you who want to learn more about the sustainability aspects in welding or already have experience but want to increase your theoretical knowledge of modern welding processes.
