About Department

The Department of Welding was founded in 2010. The department’s educational programs are aimed at training specialists in developing welding technologies, strengthening and restoration of machine parts, welding materials with specified properties, mechanical equipment design, diagnostics and forecasting of the reliability and operability of welded structures, certification, and quality control in production.

The department prepares bachelors and masters under the educational and professional program “Applied Mechanics” in the specialty 131 Applied Mechanics, specialization: Welding and related processes and technologies”. Also, it prepares scientific personnel through postgraduate studies in the specialty 132 Materials Science. The “Welding” laboratory is located in a separate educational and production center of NTU “KhPI” and is equipped with modern welding and laboratory equipment, technical teaching aids, including the Internet.

The department employs an experienced teaching staff with industrial experience: 2 professors, doctors of technical sciences, 3 associate professors, candidates of technical sciences, 1 senior teacher, candidates of technical sciences, and 2 doctors of philosophy.
