Course WD-2 Welding Technology for Design Personnel
Duration: 5 Days
Click for Terms and Conditions
Course overview: This course is specifically
designed for CAD and design personnel who need to be
able to understand the interaction of welding technology
with engineering design in order that they are able
to specify the correct welding procedure specification
for different applications. The course also provides
a very good overview of welding design technology which
makes it equally suitable for non-design personnel.
Course content: Welding terminology and nomenclature; weldology:
weld size versus productivity/ practicality; welding processes, welding techniques
and design considerations; edge preparations & joint design selection; welding
procedure specifications (WPS) versus BS EN ISO 15614; significance of WPS content;
application of WPS to drawings; welding coordination aspects; materials selection
and weldability; distortion and residual stresses; fatigue design aspects; avoidance
of brittle fracture; welding imperfections and categories; NDT techniques including
visual inspection, NDT application and design considerations; fabrication aspects;
assessment of welding drawings and weld symbols for compliance; case studies
and case history for effective welding design; End of course assessments.
Course outcomes:
On completion of the course you should be able to:
- Be able to communicate effectively using correct
welding terminology.
- Have a high level of understanding of weld procedure
specifications and apply effectively and correctly
to engineering drawings.
- Understand various welding technology aspects that
influence effective welding design
- Appreciate advantages and limitations of different welding processes and techniques in relation to design
- Deduce the most suitable joint design for a given
application.
- Know the causes and ways of minimising distortion
- Understand the details of welding coordination
and its impact on design.
- Understand the different types of materials and
their properties.
- Understand joint design concepts for improving
fatigue life.
- Understand different weldability problems and solutions.
- Know the different types of weld imperfections
and appreciate the implication of non destructive
testing on effective design.
- Understand the practicalities from case studies.
