Applied Welding Technology

This course provides a practical understanding of welding technologies, processes, and their industrial applications. Participants will learn the principles and working methods of common welding processes used in engineering and fabrication industries. The course covers welding parameters, equipment selection, consumables, joint preparation, and welding techniques. It explains the factors affecting weld quality, strength, and productivity during fabrication. Participants will understand the applications of SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, FCAW, and other commonly used welding processes. The course introduces welding procedures, WPS, PQR, and essential process controls. It also covers common welding defects, their causes, inspection methods, and preventive measures. Participants will learn about preheating, post-weld heat treatment, distortion control, and residual stresses. Practical considerations for welding different materials and industrial components are also discussed. The course helps participants apply welding technology effectively in fabrication, maintenance, and engineering projects.
