New Course, ABE 501Engineering Faculty Document No. 32-02 TO: Engineering Faculty FROM: The Faculty of the School of Agricultural and Biological Engineering RE: New Dual-Level Course, ABE 501
The faculty of the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering has approved the following new course. This action is now submitted to the Engineering Faculty with a recommendation for approval. ABE 501 Welding Engineering Sem. 2, Class 3, cr. 3 (Offered in alternating years) Prerequisite: ABE 450 Design of weldments and modeling of heat transfer and residual stresses of the welding processes. Finite element theory of non-linear properties for the many processes including laser, submerged arc, manual, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), plasma, electron beam. Metallurgy topics will include continuous cooling transformation curves in optimizing engineered joint strength including cutting and welding. Reason: This class has been offered three times as an ABE 591 with
good enrollment of 6 in 2001, 13 in 2002, and 10 in 2003. This course is organized to provide engineers
with welding background for small production volumes. The need was expressed by _________________________________________________ Vincent F.

Purdue Student
Honesty Policy in effect. Class Goals: 1.
Become proficient in designing a welded joint. 2.
Capable of specifying welding process for
manufacturability. 3.
Complete a welding engineering design project (15
page report). Practical hands-on-experience. 4.
Understanding FEA (thermo and elastic-plastic)
non-linear affects caused by Welding (i.e., commercial CAT program) 5.
Becomes knowledgeable of the 20 plus welding,
cutting, and brazing processes. 6.
Evaluate weld quality – understand certification
process. Justification: Many joining processes use automatic welding
in automotive construction and component manufacturing. The demand for background in welding
engineering has been expressed by mid-west industry. |
