Course content

1 section • 7 lectures • 1h 17m total length

Physics of Welding - Power Density in Welding7:09
Understand how power density enables fusion welding by melting metal and filler material, with heat density defined as power per unit area (watts/mm^2) and ranges from 10 to 10^5 watts/mm^2.
Comparison of Welding Processes based on Power Density1:47
Compare power density across fusion welding processes by examining examples from oxy-fuel, arc, resistance, laser beam, and electron beam welding.
Heat Balance in Fusion Welding: Thermal Analysis of Fusion Welding16:36
Apply heat balance in fusion welding by computing heat to raise to melting point, latent heat of fusion, and net heat via transfer factors F1 and F2 for welding.
Types of Welding - Arc Welding16:32
Explore arc welding fundamentals: initiating the electric arc between electrode and workpiece, shielding with gas or flux, and understanding consumable and non-consumable electrodes.
Types of Welding - Resistance Welding8:22
Explore how resistance welding enables fusion welding of metal parts using heat and pressure from electrical resistance between two electrodes and an ac power supply.
Types of Welding - Oxy Fuel or Gas Welding20:30
Gas welding uses acetylene with oxygen to produce a flame of 3480°C that melts metals, with a flux-coated filler rod used to join parts.
Types of Welding - Pressure Gas Welding6:37
Learn about pressure gas welding, a fusion welding process that uses heat and pressure to join two parts over their entire contact surface.
