Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises where participants carryout welding inspection. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course is designed to provide participants with an up-to-date overview on welding defects analysis. It covers the identification of various welding imperfections and defects; the relevant welding technology related to visual inspection, documentation in welding and code and standards related to inspection requirements; the proper inspection of parent materials and consumables; the visual inspection of welds; the reporting and assessing with specified acceptance criteria; the factors which influence the quality of fusion welds in steels; and the characteristics of commonly used welding process in relation to quality control and specifications of drawing instructions and symbols. The course will further discuss the validity of a welding procedure; the origin of weld defects; the features of a fracture surface; the detailed reports plan, the use of skilled inspectors and NDT personnel; the various types of weld defects and how it is expected to appear on a radiographic image and what causes them; the gas pour, linear porosity and lack of fusion; and the various types of cracks and weld repair methods.
