prerequisite
Knowledge
Orientation in arc welding methods, their properties and applications. Orientation in heat treatment processes and the influence of temperature on structural processes in metallic materials. Demonstrate an overview of the basics of materials science, crystallization processes, structural and phase transformations. Characterize weld structure, weldability and weld defects.
Skills

Competences
Master's degree: understandably and convincingly discuss professional problems and defend one's own opinion on their solution
N/A
learning outcomes
Knowledge
Can characterize the differences between different types of lasers, their properties and uses. Apply various technologies of laser processing of materials for engineering production. Take advantage of laser processing and he know the differences from conventional technologies. Independently characterize the weld structure, material weldability and defects of laser welds. After completing the course, the student is able to develop a technological process of laser processing of material for surfacing, welding, cutting, surface hardening, additive production, texturing, etc. describe and explain the principle of laser radiation, properties of laser and electron beam, the interaction of the beam with a solid. Demonstrates knowledge of the influence of selected parameters on residual stresses, fatigue life, product. deformation, tribological and corrosion resistance
Skills
Elaborate welding / cladding plan, weld / clad inspection plan, procedure for elaboration of welding technological procedure (WPS), Choose a suitable filler/coating material with regard to the basic material and final requirements, evaluate the need for secondary operations such as preheating, reheating, inter-pass annealing, choose the right shielding gas, etc. Develop a comprehensive procedure, including preparation of welded surfaces, use of jigs and clamp devices.
