Welding and Joining Process OpenCourseWare: A Free MIT Graduate Level Course on the Science of Welding
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) offers its 'Welding and Joining Processes' course as free OpenCourseWare. The graduate course focuses on the science behind the welding and joining processes rather than actual processes and techniques. The course is an elective for students pursuing their Master of Engineering, Master of Science, Doctor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Science and Engineering.

Welding and Joining Processes: Course Description
Through MIT's OpenCourseWare website, Professor Thomas Eagar shares many of his materials from his 'Welding and Joining Processes' lecture course. The course takes an in-depth look at the chemical and physical properties of materials and welding and joining processes. The lectures fall into nine categories: fastening, fundamentals of bonding, pressure and cold welding, adhesive bonding, diffusion bonding, soldering, brazing, fusion heat sources and specialized processes. Specific lecture titles include joining, bond strength, thermal diffusivity, forge welding, cold welding, flux, power, heat intensity, flame cutting, plasmas, shielding gases, arc ignition, arc redux, lasers and electron beams. MIT offered this optional graduate-level course to students obtaining their Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Science, Master of Science and Master of Engineering in Materials Science and Engineering.
This 'Welding and Joining Processes' OpenCourseWare from MIT includes a detailed syllabus, lecture notes and a problem set. If you are interested in studying these materials visit the joining and welding course page.
