Course Goals / Objectives:
Provide a basic understanding of the types of failures that occur in welded construction, including failure during proimary fabrication, repair, or during service
Review the failure mechanims that occur during primary fabrication, including solidification and liquation cracking, solid-state cracking, and hydrogen induced cracking
Review failure mecahisms that occur in service, including fracture, fatigue, creep, and corrosion
Review weldability tests that are used to quantify weldability
Provide a basic overview of techniques that are used to conduct a failure analysis of welded structures
Give students experience in writing a detailed technical paper on a specific topic and to review and critique papers written by other students
