Course Description
What is Welding? Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. How it works: This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a strong joint upon cooling. Why it matters: Welding is fundamental to industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and pipeline manufacturing.
What you'll learn in this course?
Define the basic principles of welding as a material joining process.
Identify common welding defects and their root causes.
Explain the importance of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) in material applications.
Compare the six major NDT methods (VT, PT, MT, UT, RT, ET).
Select appropriate NDT techniques for different welding applications and materials.
