Introduction To Tungsten Inert Gas Shieled Welding Gas (TIG)


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Objectives:  

To provide delegates with the necessary skills, knowledge and safe working practices to be able to produce welded joints in a variety of    materials using the Tungsten Inert Gas Process.                          

Course Duration: 

5 Days          

Pre-course requirements:

Delegates do not necessarily need to have prior experience of the TIG process but should have an understanding of workplace health & safety.
                                                     
Programme

  • Introduction
  • Brief introduction to the Tungsten Arc Gas Shielded process of welding,    applications and techniques                     
  •  
  • Personal Safety      
  • Use of protective clothing appropriate to the process to be undertaken i.e. goggles, gloves, aprons etc.
  • Isolation procedures for electrical systems
    Remedial action in the event of burns
    Routine inspection of electrical cables and fittings
    Action in the event of arc eye
  • Equipment

    Gas control             
    Selection of tungsten       
    Selection of polarity                    
    Adjustment of arc length

 

  • Preparation
  • Preparation of the material for welding ensuring that it is clean and the preparation Is straight, using the bench or angle grinder to correct if required
    Choice of appropriate conditions
    Choice of an appropriate technique
    Setting up the job safely and to minimise welding difficulties & distortion
  • Practical
  • Demonstration and individual practice of welded  joints using mild steel plate of various thickness:
     Fusion without filler                  
    Fusion with filler  
    Depositing straight runs
    Close corner joint
    Close square butt joint
    Lap joint

    Appreciation of standard joints in stainless steel and aluminium plate
  • Inspection and Assessment
  • To visually examine the weld for:
    Penetration
    Porosity
    Undercutting
    Imperfections
    Recognition of the causes of imperfections and identification of corrective action

Outcomes: 

Successful completion of the course will result in the issue of a SETA  certificate of completion.

This training could also form the basis of an unit of PEO NVQ Level 2 Tungsten Inert Gas Shielded Welding.
