Principles of Welding
About This Course
This course provides an introduction to the principles of welding technology. The course describes the process of welding and how it affects welded materials and structures. It describes the electric circuits that are used to generate welding arcs, material properties, and the metallurgical and dimensional effects of welding on structures. The course also provides an overview of weld design concepts including efficient weld sizing and communication of weld and welding information through weld symbols on drawings.
Learning Objectives
You Will Learn To:
Explain how to use and application of common welding processes
Describe basic weld design concepts, such as weld size determination and communication through weld and welding symbols on drawings
Explain how welding affects various welded materials, including metallurgical and dimensional changes
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of various arc-welding processes
Identify basic electric circuits that are used to accomplish arc welding
Identify weld inspection techniques, including non-destructive examination
Identify common problems with welding processes and explain how to troubleshoot them.
Requirements
- Bring your thinking cap (brain) and I will provide the rest!
Target Audience
- New technologists, engineers, managers and quality personnel who wish to understand the fundamental principles of welding to control and troubleshoot welding processes, reduce operating cost and improve the quality of their product. It is an ideal prerequisite to the ASME B&PVC Section IX Course for those individuals with little or no prior welding experience.
