6 Basics of Welding Quality Control The Basics of Welding Quality Control is a course designed to allow people who have no industry experience to quickly familiarise themselves with the ins and outs of welding quality control. The course introduces welding terminology, gives a brief description of common welding processes, material science, inspection techniques, welding and fabrication codes, quality control documentation, basic mathematics and science. This course combines the Foundation week which was previously in the Welding Inspection Level 1 course. The course is also for those who do not meet direct entry requirements to the Welding Inspection Level 1 course. This course is intended for anyone who wishes to enter the field of fabrication and serves as a basis to begin a career in welding quality control and inspection. The course can be used to access other courses in Welding Inspection or Welding Coordination/Supervision. The course meets the syllabus requirements of Module 0 for IIW courses. PAGE 6

8 About Welding Inspector The flagship Welding Inspector training programmes are tailored to meet industry requirements for welding inspection personnel involved in the fabrication, petrochemical, refinery, process plant, power generation, construction and other industries. Qualification as a welding inspector is an ideal platform to build a career as a third party inspector or to progress further as a technical expert or manager of an inspection function. The Welding Inspector course is designed to equip an inspector to conduct basic inspections, to identify welding defects and witness and validate welder qualification tests. Students obtain a useful qualification which allows them to gain employment. This course is an entry requirement for the Senior Welding Inspector course, which further upgrades skills, completes the training as a welding inspector and upgrades skills where candidates are able to take on and manage all inspection activities, including being able to confirm the code compliance of a welding procedure. Since 2010, the welding inspector training programmes and examinations are fully aligned with the International Institute of Welding (IIW) International Welding Inspection Personnel (IWIP) Standard level inspection diploma, but the combined Welding Inspector and Senior Welding Inspector courses are more comprehensive than the IIW syllabus as they incorporate material identified as essential by national industry experts. Welding personnel, with a Grade 12 qualification and 2 years welding industry experience, wanting a career in quality control of welded fabrications should apply for this course. This is an ideal entry course for career development in the fabrication, petrochemical, refinery and power generation industries as well as inspection discipline. Candidates without a National Senior Certificate (Grade 12) including passes in Mathematics and Science are required to do the Basics of Welding Quality Control. PAGE 8

26 About Appreciation of Welding Welding is a complex subject with many welding processes available ranging from the traditional stick welding through to advanced processes such as laser welding. Each of these processes has its own advantages and disadvantages. In addition, there are many materials for the engineer to utilise including a large range of ferrous alloys ranging from steel alloys through to cast iron as well as non-ferrous alloys. Techniques have also been developed for welding plastics, ceramics and other exotic materials. The Appreciation of Welding course is designed to provide students with an overview of welding technology in order to understand welding better and make informed welding related decisions. With increasing operating stresses and temperatures, use of new materials and innovative designs, engineers are finding it increasingly difficult to contain maintenance and fabrication costs due to their lack of knowledge of welding technology and related sciences. With increased knowledge of welding technology, it has been proven that substantial cost savings are possible. Personnel in senior positions must have good appreciation of welding technology to ensure that maintenance, fabrication and construction work is being carried out effectively in terms of quality and cost effectiveness.

34 About Heat Treatment for Engineers Heat treatment may be defined as the controlled heating and cooling of metals and alloys in order to bring about desired microstructural and property changes. By manipulating the microstructure the properties can be altered to suit requirements. The Heat Treatment for Engineering course covers the processes used to manipulate the microstructure and properties of steel. Steel is the most used material owing to the versatility of the material. In part the range of properties which may be obtained from steel is due to the response of this material from heat treatment. This five day course is intended for personnel who are involved in the engineering field and conduct, utilise or specify heat treatment processes for engineering components. The course will deepen the understanding of the science and technology of heat treatments and their effects on the properties of the material. Course Outline: The nature and basic properties of metals, alloying, metallurgical reactions and microstructures Iron/carbon system and microstructures Heat treatments processes and hardening of steel Martensitic transformation and tempering of martensite Isothermal transformation of steel, TTT and CCT diagrams Quenching and hardenability of steel Surface treatments, induction hardening, plasma and LASER treatmets Alloy and tool steels and their heat treatment Cast iron heat treatments Heat treatment of stainless steels PAGE 34

36 About Competent Persons Training Course The Competent Person courses are ideal for persons intending to work as inspectors for an Approved Inspection Authority (AIA) which has in-service inspection included in the scope of its accreditation and approval by the Department of Labour (DOL). These courses are also suitable for engineering personnel responsible for in-service inspection requirements according to the Pressure Equipment Regulations (PER). The qualification will ensure that the user s responsibility in terms of the in-service inspection requirements of the PER are appropriately managed. Competent persons perform the in-service inspections which are required by the Pressure Equipment Regulations (PER) according to the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Competent persons are required to be certified by the SAQCC CP certification body and it is an essential requirement that the candidates have successfully completed an approved training course for certification. CP PV Core Syllabus 5 Days PLUS CP PV Additional Plant Syllabus 20 Days Foundation Course Welding and NDT Syllabus 5 Days Exemption from the Foundation Week is possible depending on prior training qualifications For PV Certification limited to air receivers or small autoclaves CP Steam Generator Core Syllabus 10 Days For unlimited PV Certification NOTE: The Competent Person Foundation module is mandatory for all new students not holders of Welding Inspector qualification ( Level 1).

37 About Competent Persons Training Course (Continued) Certification is available in two categories pressure vessels or steam generators. In the case of pressure vessels, there are two basic sub-categories; limited or unlimited. Limited certification is aimed at those personnel working only in the field of inspection of compressor air receivers or small medical (or other type) autoclaves. Other pressure vessel inspectors working in the industry, including refinery and process industries or power generation industries are required to have unlimited certification. In the case of steam generators, certification may be in the sub-categories fired or unfired, depending on the practical experience of the candidate. It is recommended that candidates should have a minimum of Grade 10 or an equivalent qualification and some relevant experience in inspection or operation of pressurised equipment, however, all candidates will be considered. Successful candidates will: have a basic knowledge of common welding processes used in steam generator manufacture and repair and the defects that may occur in original manufacture; have gained knowledge and understanding of the defects that arise in service and possible equipment failure mechanisms; have gained knowledge of the suitability of NDT test methods; understand the roles and responsibilities of the USER, the AIA in-service and the competent person inspector in complying with the in-service inspection requirements of the PER; have sufficient technical knowledge to be able to perform in-service inspection of steam generators.
