Description of courses
1) Appreciation of Welding & Cutting Processes
Welding and cutting are some of the basic processes in most engineering applications particularly in the metal products industry. Welding is an efficient , reliable and economical means of joining metals in most fabrication and construction operations. This course is designed to give executives/supervisors who are not directly involved in welding/cutting operations but would like to have a basic knowledge and understanding of these processes so as to assist them in their decision making responsibilities or when making judgments.
Objectives
- Knowledge and understanding of the common types of welding and cutting processes
- Understand the common welding terminologies and definitions
- Knowledge of the various types of welding consumables and welding/cutting equipment used in the above processes
Contents
- Welding processes namely SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, FCAW, SAW
- Cutting processes namely oxyfuel, laser
- Welding terminologies and definitions
- Types of welding consumables eg electrode, wire, flux, rod, shielding gas
- Welding/cutting equipment and power source
Who Should Attend
Managers, Executives, Supervisors who are not directly involved in welding/cutting processes but wants to have basic knowledge and understanding of these processes.
2) Quality Assurance and Control in Welding
All welding processes have quality requirements, the degree of which depends on the nature of usage of the materials being welded and the industry standards. Quality assurance is the part of quality management that focusses on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled whilst quality control focusses on fulfilling quality requirements. This course is designed for managers/executives who wants to have basic knowledge and understanding of the various quality standards for welding, types of welding inspections, common weld defects and preparation of welding procedures. It also covers briefly some safety aspects in welding.
Objectives
- Knowledge and understanding of the common quality standards and requirements for welding
- Knowledge of the common types of weld defects and welding inspections for quality control
- Understand the steps taken in preparation of welding procedures
Contents
- Quality standards and requirements for welding
- Welding inspection including mechanical testing and non-destructive testing (NDT)
- Weld defects/imperfections
- Welding procedures and welder approval
- Safety aspects covering hazards, procedures and practices
Who should attend
Managers, executives and supervisors who are not directly involved in welding operations but would like to have some knowledge and understanding of the measures taken on quality assurance and control in welding.
3) Appreciation of Welding Metallurgy
This course is designed to assist personnel involved in welding or in industries where welding is widely used to have basic knowledge and understanding on the behaviour of metals particularly steel and aluminium during welding.
Objectives
- Understanding of common welding processes
- Basic knowledge on the structural and metallurgical changes of steel (carbon alloy/stainless) and aluminium during welding
- Understanding of material properties and testing
- Understanding basic methods of heat treatment
Contents
- Outline of common welding processes
- Manufacture of steel
- Weldability of carbon alloy steels
- Weldability of stainless steel
- Weldability of aluminium
- Heat treatment
Who should attend
Engineers, Technicians , Supervisors who are involved in welding operations or in industries where welding is widely used in order to enhance their knowledge and understanding of basic welding metallurgy.
4) Basic welding and cutting processes workshop
This course is designed to give executives/supervisors who are not directly involved in welding/cutting operations to gain basic knowledge and understanding of common arc welding and cutting processes together with hands-on practical exposure on these processes.
Objectives
