Welding.
Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

1 In consideration of the reference table AA of the program "Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering", this course contributes to the development, to the acquisition and to the evaluation of the following experiences of learning:
  • AA1.1, AA1.2, AA1.3
  • AA2.2, AA2.4, AA2.5
  • AA3.1, AA3.2
  • AA5.2, AA5.3, AA5.4
  • AA6.1, AA6.2
  • Understand the main characteristics of each welding process.
  • Choose the best welding process for a given assembly.
  • Understand the physical principles underlying the joining operations by welding.
  • Anticipate the modifications of the microstructure that will be the result of a given welding operation (phase transformation, defects, ').
  • Discuss the consequences of the welding operation on the thermal cycle and the resulting residual stresses and distortions.
