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
• Safe setting up and operation of welding equipment to include:
  Connection of gas and electrical equipment
• Fitting and adjustment of equipment
  Selection of the tungsten polarity 
  Checking of system for safe use
  Demonstration and explanation of the effects of:
  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          
  Tee Fillet
  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.
