Applications of Welding is a comprehensive course designed to provide a foundation in welding fundamentals. Throughout this four-day course, you will learn important welding terms and definitions, various types of welds and processes, and the major considerations to consider when designing a weld.
As you progress throughout the course, you will also learn about the relationship between AWS, ASME, and API codes and standards, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, and the key elements of a quality welding program.
This course employs in-class exercises to reinforce class lectures on the subjects of welding and NDE symbols, carbon equivalence, A-numbers, strength of welds, joint details, welding procedures, selection of filler metals, and preheat.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Explain common welding terms and definitions
- Specify various weld types and nondestructive testing using standard AWS welding symbols
- Explain basic ferrous welding metallurgy
- Describe post weld heat treatments, residual stresses, and distortion control
- Evaluate welding processes typically used to fabricate pressure vessels and piping systems
- Clarify the interrelationship between AWS, ASME, and API codes and standards as they relate to pressure vessels, piping systems, and related facilities
- Explain welding procedure and performance qualification documentation and methodology applicable to pressure vessels and piping systems.
- Identify common weld defects, causes, and corrective actions
- Identify major considerations when designing a weld
- Identify common NDT used to examine welds
- Identify the elements of a cohesive welding program that includes design, purchasing, fabrication, inspections, and delivery
