Svetsteknologi - Hållbarhetsaspekter vid svetsning (Welding Technology – Sustainability Aspects in Welding) 2,5 hp
This course gives an overview of welding processes and their applications, particularly highlighting-sustainability aspects based on industrial application. The course will focus on arc welding processes and covers the basic topics including, arc physics, droplet transfer, heat input, optimization of welding parameters and productivity, with consideration of how this affects the sustainability of welding activities. Modern controlled wave form welding will be illustrated and its impact on welding activity will be explained. In connection with this, modern welding equipment will in introduced. In the end, the student should be able to select welding process based on industrial needs and make proposals for optimizing welding parameters for enhanced productivity in line with sustainable production.
Target audience
This course is aimed at people working in technology and development related to welding, but not limited to, who have the ambition to enhance and develop their knowledge about welding technology.
