Basic knowledge about electron beam and laser welding, friction stir welding and electromagnetic pulse welding as well as other "exotic" joining processes.

Characteristics of special materials (Ti, Ni, ...) during welding with different beam sources and other special welding processes (electron and laser beam, friction stir welding, electromagnetic pulse welding etc.)

Hints and references concerning engineering and design together with considerations of cost-effectiveness of special welding processes .
