Welding Technology Welding, Fabrication and Inspection (AWS, ASME and API Codes)
Course Description
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 seminar 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 welding- processes, selection of power sources, weld metallurgy, weldability of metals, testing and inspection techniques. Each session will be conducted in a lecture/discussion format and videos designed to provide intensive instruction and guidance. The director will be available following each day’s session to provide participants with further opportunity for discussion and consideration of specific problems.

The seminar will cover welding processes, welding consumables, design of welded joints, applied welding metallurgy and heat treating, welding quality control, non-destructive testing and major International Welding Codes and Standards such as AWS and API.
