Module 2: Safe Practices for Welding Personnel

The potential for injury from radiation, burns, vapors and explosions is substantial when welders perform their jobs improperly or when their work area is not maintained in an orderly, safe, clean and prudent manner. In addition, a myriad of agencies exert control over worker safety. This module covers the equipment, procedures, situations and documentation needed to comply with mandated safety requirements and prevent accidents on the job.

Module 3: Metal Joining and Cutting Processes

This module introduces a number of welding and cutting processes (including arc welding, brazing, resistance welding, soldering and solid state welding), the advantages and limitations of each, and tips for troubleshooting. It also addresses how to choose the right process for the right application. The AWS filler materials system, process techniques, problems and solutions are also explained.

Module 4: Weld Joint Geometry and Welding Symbols

The universality of AWS weld symbols ensures continuity of communication between designers, supervisors, inspectors, welders and regulatory bodies. The U.S. Departments of Defense and Transportation both use the AWS welding symbols systems. This module reveals the relationship between these symbols and the actual appearance of welds and their component parts, the configuration of welds, and weld joint geometry.

Module 5: Documents Governing Welding Inspection and Qualification

The preparation of a Welding Procedure Specification is the true nucleus of a successful welding operation. This module examines the core of welding control with introduction to drawings, standards, codes and specifications, control of materials, alloy identification and the qualification of procedures and welders.

Module 6: Metal Properties and Destructive Testing

Mechanical properties of metals include strength, ductility, hardness, toughness and fatigue strength. Chemical properties of metals have a direct effect on corrosion-resistance and weld ability. This module explains how destructive testing is used to ascertain the actual mechanical and chemical values of metals and why this information is crucial for design engineers.

Module 7: Metric Practice for Welding Personnel

The transition to the metric (SI) system is frequently difficult for companies and individuals who are accustomed to U.S. Customary. This module will help practitioners to make the transition to SI and demonstrate how to apply the knowledge of metrics to welding.

Module 8: Welding Metallurgy for Welding Personnel

Mechanical properties of metals are all affected by the metallurgical transformations that result from the elevated temperatures of welding. Welding professionals need to know how metals will behave once welded in order to better understand which materials will be safe, economical, and high performing in different conditions. This module is a must for anyone who needs to understand the welding and fabrication process at the most basic level. It is particularly valuable for those who are responsible for the specification of base or weld metal alloys and their pre- and post-weld treatments.

Module 9: Weld and Base Metal Discontinuities

Rework and repair are estimated to be 10-15% of actual fabrication costs. That�s $7 billion annually in the United States alone. So, when is a defect acceptable and a discontinuity unacceptable? This module describes different types of discontinuities (including cracks, incomplete fusion, incomplete joint penetration, inclusion, porosity, undercut, overlap, convexity, spatter, lamination, lamellar tears) and explains why these problems occur, how to identify them and how can they be avoided.

Module 10: Visual Inspection and other NDE Methods and Symbols

Visual inspection is the first line of defense against expensive rework and repair. It is also most economic quality control step any welding operation can employ. This module covers visual inspection tools and their proper deployment, as well as an overview of other NDE methods including penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing, radiographic testing and ultrasonic testing.
