No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1975–76 to 1994–95 (before that, 1970–71 to 1974–75 used the number for Manufacturing Science 5); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Features and advantages of the various welding processes. Welding arc characteristics. Temperature distributions around welds. Metallurgy of the weld metal and heat affected zone in various alloys, including carbon and stainless steels, and aluminum alloys. Origin of various weld defects and methods of detecting them. Static and dynamic design of welded joints. Residual stresses, distortion and fracture of welds.
As printed in the 1979–80 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
