Welding Application Technology

By Prof. Pankaj Biswas   |   IIT Guwahati
Learners enrolled: 1937
ABOUT THE COURSE:
The name of the course is Welding Application Technology. As the name implies in this course I will try to cover the fundamental overview of the traditional/ industrial welding technology especially those welding processes which are widely used in manufacturing industries. I will also try to cover the detail concepts of design and analysis of welding joints, heat treatment and weld induced residual stresses & distortions and its measurement. This will help the participants to understand and apply this knowledge of welding in practice for various industrial applications. It will also encourage academic participants to increase the research interest in the field of welding. In this present course the primary focus is on basic fundamental of welding and its importance in industries.

The brief overview of the course content can be stated like; this course will cover the industrial relevance of welding processes. It will give the fundamental knowledge of various important welding processes which includes most of the important fusion welding, solid state welding (i.e. Friction Welding, FSW etc.) and solid-liquid state welding (i.e. Shouldering and Brazing). It will also cover the importance and applications of all these welding techniques. This course will highlight the safety precautions to be followed in different welding techniques.

This course also will cover the basic concepts of weld induced residual stresses and distortions. In this course, the concepts of different residual stresses measurements techniques will be provided. This course also will provide the fundamental concepts of residual stresses and distortions mitigation techniques. This course also will provide the basic fundamental concept on design and analysis of welding joints. This course includes most of the important topics related to static analysis of welded joints which included ‘Design and Analysis of Butt and Fillet Welds Joints, Strength Calculation of Parallel & Transverse Fillet Welds, Analysis of Eccentrically Loaded Welded Joint, Analysis of Welded Joint Subjected to Bending Moment’.

Prof. Pankaj Biswas

IIT Guwahati
I, Dr. Pankaj Biswas, am a Professor in the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Guwahati. I am working in the area of welding technology and forming by line heating for the past 15 years. My areas of research are on computational weld mechanics, similar and dissimilar friction stir welding, friction stir welding of steel, hybrid welding technology, Finite Element analysis of weld induced distortion and residual stresses, Analysis of large welding structure, forming by line heating and modelling of welding processes using soft computing techniques. I guided 02 PDF, 7 PhD scholars in the area of welding. Currently I am guiding 01 PDF and 7 PhD students in the welding and line heating areas. I already published about 75 journal articles, 70 conference proceedings, 22 book chapters and 3 patents. I worked in ten sponsored / consultancy projects. I got IEI Young Engineers Award 2013- 2014’ in Mechanical Engineering discipline.

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.
The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).

The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 6 assignments out of the total 8 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Guwahati. It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.
