Welding Metallurgy-1, for Certified Welding Inspector

🛠️ AWS-Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) - Mastering Welding Metallurgy

Course Overview:

Embark on a comprehensive journey into the world of welding inspection with our AWS-Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) course. This module focuses on "Welding Metallurgy - Part 1," where you will delve into the critical aspects that form the foundation of your CWI exam, which is divided into three parts:

1. Part A – Fundamentals (closed-book exam, 150 questions)
   • Welding fundamentals, terms and definitions, welding processes, nondestructive examination, procedures, symbols, calculations, safety practices, and duties and responsibilities of a CWI.
2. Part B – Practical (hands-on test)
   • Ability to visually identify welding discontinuities and determine the acceptance or rejection of a weld.
3. Part C – Code Book Applications (open book test)
   • Evaluation of familiarity and ability with code application from selected codes.

📚 CWI Certification and Qualification Standards: You are encouraged to study the AWS documents QC1:2016-AMD1 and B5.1:2013-AMD1, which provide full details on the AWS Certification and Qualification Standards and are available for free on the AWS website. Be prepared to answer any question from these documents.

Course Content Breakdown:

Part 1:

• Preparation of Reports: Learn how to accurately document and report on welding inspections.
• Welding Processes: Gain a deep understanding of SAW, PAW, RW, SMAW, SW, FCAW, GTAW, OFW, ESW, GMAW, Thermal Spraying, Soldering, Mechanical Cutting, Thermal Cutting/Gouging, Brazing/Braze Welding.
• Metallurgy Concepts: Study the structure of metals, phase transformations, physical structure of metals, phase diagrams for alloys like copper-silver, welding precipitation-hardening alloys, dispersion strengthening, and welding of specific alloy families including aluminum and heat-treatable grades.
• Understanding Metallurgy: Explore the basic metallurgy of steels, chemical elements of steels, phase transformations in pure iron, the Iron-Carbon Equilibrium Diagram, heat treatment of steels, effects of cooling rate on transformation, TTT (Time-Temperature-Transformation) diagrams, thermal characteristics of welds and Heat Affected Zones, temperature changes during welding, and factors influencing these temperatures.
• Non-Destructive Examination (NDT): Learn about the fundamental principles of Visual Testing (VT), Mechanical Testing (MT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Penetration Testing (PT), Radiographic Testing (RT), and Liquid Penetrant Testing (LT).
• Quality Procedures: Acquire knowledge of quality procedures, audits/surveillance, welding symbols, engineering drawings, base material compliance, filler metal compliance, inspection records, verification of proper documentation, and certification of documented results.
• Safety and Compliance: Understand the essential safety requirements in the workplace as per International Standards.
