Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using the following practical methods: -. (1) Industrial Facility Visit: Course participants will be taken to an industrial facility where they will practice welding, fabrication and inspection. In case that this course is organized inside client premises (In-House), then client shall provide access to its welding and fabrication workshop for practical sessions. (2) Welding Simulator: Participants will use in the class the welding & fabrication software and AWS Tool Kit & Structural Weld Replica Kit to practice some of the skills learnt. Welding Technology plays a major role in all maintenance and fabrication activities in the industry. Production equipment, a highly sophisticated welding technique and qualified personnel allow processing or production of steel products for different applications within short periods. This course provides a much-needed source of authoritative information on the complex subject of welding. It provides a comprehensive run-down of the complex science of weldingprocesses, selection of power sources, weld metallurgy, weldability of metals, testing and inspection techniques.This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Advanced Welding. It covers the applications of advanced welding techniques; the challenges, benefits, relevant standards and codes; the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), submerged arc welding (SAW), laser beam welding (LBW) and electron beam welding (EBW) processes as well as welding equipment and setup; selecting and preparing tungsten electrode, shielding gases, wire electrodes and flux-cored electrodes; the welding techniques and parameter optimization; the parameters, applications, limitations, considerations and advantages of GTAW, GMAW, FCAW, SAW, LBW and EBW; and the techniques for achieving high deposition rates and controlling beam intensity and penetration. During this interactive course, participants will learn the welding parameters for different applications and joint design considerations of SAW; the inspection techniques for advanced welding, non-destructive testing methods and post-weld heat treatment considerations; the weld defects evaluations and discontinuities; the quality control measures and documentation; the welding metallurgy principles, effects of welding on material properties and selecting base metals and filler materials; the joint design considerations for advanced welding techniques and microstructural analysis and heataffected zone (HAZ) control; the advanced welding applications in specific industries; the welding automation and robotics; and the emerging trends and future developments in advanced welding.
