Course overview: This course is specifically aimed at design personnel who need to be able to understand the interaction of welding technology and weld design with structural/mechanical design concepts. The course also provides a very good overview of welding technology which makes the training suitable for other non design personnel.
Course content:Welding terminology; welding processes: features for selection and design considerations; edge preparations & joint design selection; application of weld symbols; material and consumable selection; concepts of weldability; welding procedures and qualification; distortion and residual stresses; fatigue and brittle fracture; NDT techniques and design considerations; case studies for effective welding design.
Suitable for:
Non welding and welding design personnel, CAD personnel, welding engineers and welding supervisors who are required to understand the technical considerations of welding design
Course outcomes:
On completion of the course you will be able to:
- Understand the interaction of various welding technology topics that influence effective weld design
- Apply weld symbols effectively and correctly to engineering drawings.
- Appreciate advantages and limitations of welding processes in relation to design
- Deduce suitable joint designs for a given welding processes and applications.
- Understand welding process applications and their impact on quality and productivity.
- Understand how weld design can affect welding procedures and qualification testing requirements and costs.
- Understand joint design concepts for improving fatigue life and minimising the risk of brittle fracture.
- Understand different weldability problems of various materials and the basis for welding consumable selection.
- Appreciate how health and safety requirements may influence weld design choices.
- Understand the effects of residual stress on distortion and the techniques for distortion control.
- Identify the main welding defects seen in welded joints and how they affect quality categories of welds
- Appreciate the implication of non-destructive testing and its influence on effective weld design.
