About this Course
Welds are commonly used to join two or more metal parts, and because these connections encounter loads and fatigue during product lifetime they can fail if not created to proper specification. This five-day course provides the knowledge to carry out welding inspections, understand the basics of nondestructive examination and meet the welding requirements of the ABS Rules. It covers materials and welding technology, current welding evaluation practices for marine construction and repair and the important aspects of steel welding and nondestructive evaluation, with ABS Rule requirements highlighted through practical examples and case studies.
What you'll Learn
- Describe the fundamentals of welding and metallurgy.
- Explain steel production and properties.
- Assess the mechanical properties of materials.
- Apply basic welding metallurgy.
- Explain heat flow and residual stresses.
- Perform standard tests.
- Select filler metals.
- Interpret weld joint geometry and welding terminology.
- Identify welding positions, welds and welding symbols.
- Describe welding of high-strength, low-alloy steel.
- Recognize welding discontinuities and welding sequence.
- Plan weld and structure repairs.
- Prepare a welding procedure specification (WPS).
- Interpret procedure qualification records (PQR).
