Description

The welding industry is not for everyone, as it is a very physically demanding and challenging job. However, it’s a job that is essential to a wide variety of products and infrastructures, and it plays an important role in various aspects of everyday life.

When we think about welding, we often don’t realize how this industry impacts the world around us. Welding is an essential component of many industries such as the automotive industry, the construction industry, the aviation industry, and more. Without this form of metal work, so many things, including many buildings, gates, and fences, small kitchen appliances, vehicles – and even space travel – would not exist.

With all that in my mind, I have designed this course in such a way that you will get to know the theoretical and practical aspect of welding in a very comprehensive yet concise way.

What this course gonna teach you – How to supervise welding process, What different types of welding processes are there, What are the best practices, How to read coding of electrode etc.

What this course does not teaches you – How to weld.

This course makes you familiar with most of the welding processes and practices followed in many industries.Its not only beneficial for mechanical/manufacturing engineering students studying in college/universities, but also for working professionals who are already working in an industry & wondering how a welder decides which welding process is suitable.

• In the 1st unit, you will learn about the the basic introduction to welding.
• The 2nd unit is all about Liquid state WELDING.(Gas,Arc,Resistance etc.)
• In the 3rd unit, you are going to know about various types of Solid-state WELDING processes.(Explosive,Friction,Diffusion etc.)
• The 4th unit is all about Liquid-Solid state WELDING.(Brazing & Soldering)
• The 5th unit covers all that is left.

The course is quite short yet informative. Even if you are an expert in this field. You will definitely going to learn some new things.

Who this course is for:

• Mechanical engineering students/graduates
• Manufacturing engineering students/graduates
• Students studying in university/college having welding as one of their subject
• Working professionals whose industry requires various welding processes
• Anyone who wants to learn about best practices in welding

What you’ll learn

• An Overview of the Major Welding Processes including FCAW, SAW, SMAW, GTAW and GMAW

• Nondestructive Testing Types and How to Depict Those Tests on an Engineering Drawing
• Supplementary Information and Symbols
• And MUCH MORE!!

Requirements

• A basic understanding of manufacturing
• A basic understanding of engineering drawings

Description

Welding symbols are the graphical tools, placed on engineering drawings and specifications, that product engineers and designers use to communicate the intent of their design to the people who are making and inspecting the products. Details like the type, shape, length, thickness, and location of the weld are all communicated through these welding symbols.

And like all symbols, without an understanding of how they work, they’re meaningless. But in this course, “Understanding Welding Symbols”, we show you how to read and interpret these symbols.

Metallurgist and Licensed Professional Engineer, Garry Pace is the instructor for this course. Over the past 20+ years, Garry has taught thousands of welders, weld inspectors, quality engineers, quality technicians, and other manufacturing professionals the fundamentals of welding, along with its procedures and specifications.

In this course, you will learn:

• An overview of the major welding processes like GTAW, GMAW, SMAW, SAW and FCAW
• All the major weld joint types
• Welding symbols … what they mean and why they’re important
• All the terminology and concepts needed to master welding symbols
