Objectives: To introduce the various aspects of welding (processes, joint design, filler and base metals) with types of welding flaws/defects and related NDE techniques for detection and the QA systems necessary for monitoring and assessment. This course is also intended to prepare exam candidates for the ABSA Welding Examiner Papers #1 and #3. (It is not necessary to be an ABSA exam candidate to attend.) Accreditation: Each participant will receive a certificate with 3.2 Continuing Education Units accredited by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET). Who Should Attend: Inspectors, welders, welding supervisors, quality control personnel, technologists, and engineers involved with welding for new fabrication, repairs, maintenance, and inspection for pressure vessel or piping. This course is also designed to assist ABSA Welding Examiner Paper #1 and Paper #3, Pressure Equipment Inspector and CSA W178.2 exam candidates, although it is not a prerequisite that you be an exam candidate. Topics: Introduction to Welding: - types of welding - melting and dilution - heat input and the weld thermal cycle - gas/slag/metal reactions and solidification - distortion and residual stress - preheating and heat treatment basics Arc Welding Processes: - shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) - gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) - gas metal arc welding (GMAW) - submerged arc welding (SAW) - flux cored arc welding (FCAW) - selection of arc welding processes: - base metal and joint design considerations - deposition rate Joint Design and Welding Symbols: - joint types - weld types - groove types - edge preparations - welding symbols Base Metal Classification Systems, Standards, and Specifications: - base metal classification systems and properties: - carbon, alloy, and stainless steel - trade name classification: - Inco, Avesta, etc. - standardized classification systems: - SAE - ASTM - Unified Numbering System (UNS) - Alloy Castings Institute (ACI) - ASME P-number and group number - base metal and product standards and specifications: - ASTM, ASME, MSS and API Standards Welding Consumables: - filler metal forms and uses - shielding gases, fluxes and slags - AWS specification and classification for arc welding consumables: - tungsten electrodes for GTAW and related filler metals - SAW filler metals and fluxes for carbon steels - ASME SFA specifications and classification system - ASME F-number - ASME A-number Codes, Standards, and Specifications: - review of welding qualifications (WPS, PQR, WPQ) - mechanical testing of welds: - tensile tests, bend tests, hardness tests, impact tests - workshop exercises directed at using ASME code information on welding processes and filler metals NDE Methods as Detailed in ASME Section V: - applications, examination processes, requirements, uses, benefits, limitations and personnel qualifications of the following: - visual examination - radiographic examination - ultrasonic examination - liquid penetrant examination - magnetic particle examination Weld Flaws and Defects: - cracks, lack of fusion, incomplete penetration, internal porosity, slag, elongated indications, undercutting - surface porosity or exposed slag inclusion, surface finish - concave root surface (suck up) - weld reinforcement or internal protrusion (excess) Weld Imperfection Acceptance/Rejection - acceptance/rejection criteria according to ASME B31.3 Table 341.3.2 Introduction to ABSA Quality Assurance: - scope of work and statement of authority - organization chart - definitions and manual control - personnel qualifications - document control and material control - performance qualification testing - nondestructive examination (NDE) - noncomformity reports - heat treating - measuring and testing equipment - record retention - ABSA safety codes officer Problem Solving Workshops: - with practical examples Purchasing Exam Documents: Individuals who are ABSA Welding Examiner Paper #1 or #3 exam candidates may require Code documents. Some of the Code documents required for ABSA Welding Examiner certification are available to CASTI course registrants at a special discounted package price. These documents are available as a package only, not on an individual basis. CASTI is licensed to sell the document packages only to individuals registered in this course, not to the general public.
