Objectives:  

To provide delegates with the necessary skills, knowledge and safe    working practices to enable them to produce a range of welded joints    in aluminium, stainless and mild steel in a variety of positions.

Course Duration: 

5 days          

Pre-course requirements:

Delegates should have completed the introduction to Tungsten Inert    Gas Shielded welding course or have demonstatable prior skills and    knowledge, along with an understanding of workplace health & safety.
                                                     
PROGRAMME

• Introduction
• Review of the tungsten inert gas process to include the safe setting of the  equipment and its economic use
  The necessary theoretical knowledge to undertake the practical skills outlined  within the programme
• Personal Safety      
• Use of protective clothing appropriate to the process to be undertaken i.e. goggles, gloves, aprons etc.
  Isolation procedures for gas and electrical systems
  Remedial action in the event of burns
  Routine inspection of electrical cables, gas pipes and fittings
  Action in the event of arc eye and gas leaks
• Equipment
• Safe setting up and economic 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                   
  Adjustment of arc length
• Preparation
• Preparation of the material to be welded to produce correct joints, gas etc using appropriate equipment
  Technique to be used on the various joints and materials
  Methods of minimising distortion and welding difficulties
• Practical
• Demonstration and individual practice of welded  joints using a selection of aluminium, steel and stainless steel sections of various thickness:
  Tee joint – horizontal/vertical – aluminium – stainless steel       
  Tee joint – vertical – aluminium – stainless steel
  Corner joint – vertical – aluminium – stainless steel
  Pipe butt – mild steel
  Pipe butt (purge) – stainless steel
• 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 contribute to the achievement of a PEO NVQ Level 2   unit Tungsten Inert Gas Shielded Welding/or Testing to BS 4872 Pt 1/2
