This course will help the candidates develop knowledge of welding activities, procedures and standards. They will also be able to develop a working knowledge of different welding techniques, equipment setup and operations. Throughout the course, the candidates will learn about different welding processes such as Shield Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Metal Active Gas (MIG/MAG), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG), Oxy-Acetylene (OA) and metallurgy (before, during and after welding). Besides, the course will help them develop a good understanding of Welding standards (CSA W59 - AWS D1.1 - AWS D1.3 - AWS D1.6).

By the end of this course, delegates will learn about:

• Welding standards, welding process & welding activities
• Weld types, shielded metal arc welding
• Gas metal arc and flux cored arc welding
• Gas tungsten arc welding & air carbon-arc gouging
• Oxy-acetylene welding, flame cutting, and gouging
• Plasma arc cutting and gouging
• OSHA standards of welding and cutting safety
• Troubleshooting weld defects & controlling weld quality
• Understanding metals & repair welding procedures
• Equipment preventive maintenance & repair welding principles
• The hazards to the employee and his/her co-workers associated with arc welding
• Safety mechanisms installed on the equipment
• Safety practices and hazards in welding and oxyacetylene cutting
• The type and use of any fire extinguishing equipment available
• Location of first aid equipment and locations of medical treatment facilities
• Company policy regarding Injuries and Illnesses for additional guidance
• Appropriate maintenance and storage of the welding device
• Weld troubleshooting and equipment setup
• Techniques for making various welds in all positions
• Explanation of welding symbols and blueprint reading
• Criteria for the selection of various electrodes
• Welding procedures are taught on aluminum, mild steel and stainless steel.
• Welding positions on edge, corner, lap and fillet welds
