Welding Technology - Basics

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.
