About This Course:
At the end of the course, candidates will have knowledge of: Understand factors which influence the quality of fusion welds in steels Recognise characteristics of commonly used welding processes in relation to quality control Interpret drawing instructions and symbols to ensure that specifications are met Set up and report on inspection of welds, macrosections, and other mechanical tests Assess and report on welds to acceptance levels Confirm that incoming material meets stipulated requirements and recognise the effects on weld quality of departure from specification
What You'll Learn
This course will teach you the duties and responsibilities of a welding inspector including fusion welding processes, typical weld defects, types of steel (including carbon-manganese, low alloy and stainless steels), the hardening of steels, weldability, heat treatment, and parent metal defects. The programme also includes visual inspection, the testing of parent metals and welds, and destructive and non-destructive test techniques. Learners will also learn welder and procedure approval, codes and standards, and an outline of safe working practices.
Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) determine if a weldment meets the acceptance criteria of a specific code, standard, or other specification; handle qualification records; oversee non-destructive testing; and ensure proper materials are available during testing. Watch the video below to learn more about becoming AWS Certified.
Being a CWI requires a remarkable amount of knowledge and experience, and the challenging and comprehensive nature of the CWI exam reflects this. To have a better shot at making the cut, most CWI hopefuls opt to take part in a five-day seminar that allows them to receive guidance and exam preparation from Cutech-vetted instructors.
The CWI Pre-Seminar cover the fundamental welding concepts and principles that every CWI needs to know. As its name implies, the Pre-Seminar is designed to bolster and solidify the knowledge base of prospective welding inspectors in preparation for the instructor-led seminar, and, ultimately, the CWI examination.
All personnel responsible for making decisions, exercising judgments applicable to welding operations in power generation, petrochemical, oil and gas, fertilizer, shipbuilding and maintenance, structural fabrication, offshore & onshore structure fabrication…etc.
