What will I learn?
This practical course delivers essential welding metallurgy knowledge to minimise cracking, manage hardness, and boost reliability. Explore thermal cycle effects on microstructure, hydrogen and stress-induced failures, and practical solutions like preheat, PWHT, consumable choices, joint designs, machining controls, and testing to avoid defects and prolong part lifespan.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Control weld hardness by tuning microstructure to stop cold cracking on shafts.
- Prevent hydrogen cracking through managing preheat, diffusion, and low-hydrogen consumables.
- Reduce weld and turning stresses by optimising joint design, toe finish, and sequencing.
- Plan weld failure analyses by selecting tests, mapping hardness, and reading fracture surfaces.
- Select weld processes and fillers to match AISI 4140 shafts for strength and toughness.
