Why Choose this Training Course?

Welding is a common and a very important joining process in most industries, and of particular importance in the chemical, oil and gas industries, including for example, pipelines and storage tanks.

This 5-day training course aim to provide the fundamental principles of welding and welding techniques, helping participants recognise various welding processes.

The training course will feature:

  • Understanding the types of welding processes
  • Appreciating the different types of welding joints
  • Recognising technical prints and symbols related to welding
  • Recognising weld defects and associated problems and learning about mechanical testing, failure of welds
  • Non-Destructive Testing
  • Learning about basic welding metallurgy

What are the Goals?

At the end of this training course, you will learn to:

  • Types of welding process, including oxyacetylene, SMAW, TIG, MIG, and others
  • Types of joints and joint design will be introduced, e.g. but, square, grooved, bevel, butt, U, J and T, flush
  • Various weld defects and imperfections will be presented including, porosity, solidification cracking, hydrogen cracking, incomplete root fusion or penetration, residual stresses, reheat cracking, lamellar tearing, liquation cracking, slag inclusion and trouble shooting
  • Basic metallurgy will be presented and related to welding technology, including the weldabillity of ferrous and nonferrous metals, heat treatment and the significance of the heat affected zone, HAZ
  • Welding parameters, including standards, metal transfer, welding currents, shielding gas and electrode selection will be included in the courseWelding engineering drawing including standard welding symbols will be presented
  • Mechanical testing and failure of welds will be presented in addition to nondestructive techniques, NDT

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The training course combines presentations and discussions of topics covered with relevant examples. It combines knowledge of fundamental principles related to welding processes, methods, and applicable standards and best industry practices and enforces learning with Question & Answer sessions to maximise the benefits to the participants.

Videos and computer simulation will be presented to emphasise relevant applications Relevant case studies will also be included. Participants will be provided with comprehensive course notes and copies of presentation material that will be very valuable for detailed study and future reference.
