Engineering Aspects of Welding

Welding is a widely used and crucial joining process across various industries, especially in sectors like chemical, oil, and gas, including applications such as pipelines and storage tanks. This Engineering Aspects of Welding training course is designed to cover the essential principles and techniques of welding, enabling participants to identify and understand different welding processes.

This 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

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

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Welding Engineers and Technicians
• Inspection and Maintenance Personnel
• Graduate Engineers
• Project Engineers
