This AZTech 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 and Non-Destructive Testing
- Learning about basic welding metallurgy
What are the Goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the use and application of welding techniques and standards
- Understand the various types of welding joints
- Learn about the different types of electrodes and standards
- Appreciate the variations of welding various types of metals
- Know, through the study of basic metallurgy, how heat treatment may be used to overcome some of the problems associated with welding, including the HAZ
- Recognise and define the basic types of welding defects and failure
- Learn how NDT can be used to detect weld defects.
- Understand how to apply materials testing techniques to examine the strength and quality of welded joints
- Gain an understanding of corrosion test methods and interpretation of results
Who is this Training Course for?
This AZTech training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Welding Engineers and Technicians
- Inspection and Maintenance Personnel
