WELD 246 Metallurgy in Welding

Students explore metallurgical principles affecting welding, including preheat, interpass, and post-weld heat treatment. The course compares welding on low-carbon versus high-carbon steels, discusses material protection during welding, and covers heat input limitations. Emphasis is on qualifying welding procedures (PQR) and understanding how metallurgy impacts weld quality.
