Course details

The Welding Technology – Basics course is designed to introduce participants to the fundamental principles and practices of welding used in various engineering and industrial applications. It provides a clear understanding of different welding processes such as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). The course covers essential topics including welding equipment, tools, and safety precautions required in a workshop environment. Participants will learn about different types of joints, welding positions, and basic weld symbols used in technical drawings. It also focuses on understanding base metals, filler materials, and their compatibility. Basic concepts of heat input, distortion, and defect formation in welding are explained in a simple manner. The course emphasizes the importance of quality control and inspection at a beginner level. Through practical demonstrations and hands-on sessions, learners gain confidence in performing basic welding operations. By the end of the course, participants will have a strong foundation in welding technology and be prepared for further advanced training or entry-level roles in fabrication and manufacturing industries.

Questions and Answers

A: Overheating the joint drives excessive HAZ width and hardness drift, which can fail a hardness traverse even if the weld looks clean. Electrical power is V×I ≈ 24×120 ≈ 2.9 kW. At 3 mm/s, that’s about 1 kJ/mm before efficiency. SMAW arc efficiency sits around 0.7–0.8, so the number stays near 1 kJ/mm, not an order higher or lower.

A: Eye and skin injury happens immediately and doesn’t wait for airborne concentration to build, so assuming the hood covers it leads to acute burns and flash eye. Local exhaust addresses fume inhalation and some gases, but it does nothing for line-of-sight UV exposure from the arc.

A: Ignoring this leads to a qualified WPS producing brittle or soft zones once the process changes, and that shows up during bend or impact tests. Section IX ties essential variables to metallurgical outcome; switching from GTAW to SMAW shifts penetration shape, dilution, and cooling rate in ways the original qualification didn’t envelope.

A: Misreading this doubles weld volume, distorts the joint, and pushes heat input beyond the WPS envelope. The basic ISO/AWS symbol uses arrow-side placement to control where the fillet goes; absence on the other side means no weld there unless explicitly shown.
