Welding Training from IPS (Click here for course dates)
Our welding training focuses on developing practical welding capability such that trainees achieve a consistent standard. The courses provide an intense but comprehensive course of welding instruction for those with some or minimal welding experience. They are designed to promote practical welding proficiency and provide trainees with a sound theoretical understanding of the process.
Our welding bay is fully ventilated with local and area extraction. On completion of the course trainees will be expected to be able to produce finished welded joints to an acceptable standard i.e. in accordance with BS4872.
Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMA) Course - 5 Days
Objectives:
- Safely use arc welding equipment
- Produce finished welded joints to an acceptable standard i.e. BS4872
- Select correct welding equipment settings
- Recognise and select correct welding consumables
- Recognise weld associated faults and make suitable corrections where applicable
Practical Work:
- Safe setting up of arc welding machine including electrical settings and polarity
- Striking of arc and deposition of weld material in FLAT, HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL, VERTICAL, and OVERHEAD position.
- Making simple joints in these positions as appropriate:
- T Fillet, Open Vee Butt, Close Square Butt, Lap weld
- With and without edge preparations as appropriate
- Using RUTILE, IRON POWDER and LOW HYDROGEN electrodes
- Using low carbon steel manufactured to EN43A of varying thickness (6mm 8mm 10mm 12mm)
- Recognising Simple weld faults
- Testing completed weld joints
Theoretical Work:
- Instruction in the safe and correct use of the MMA equipment
- Identifying and selecting the correct type of welding rods for the process
- Understanding the requirements of current setting, rate of travel and arc length
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG) 3 Days / 2 Days*
Objectives:
- Safely use arc welding equipment
- Produce finished welded joints to an acceptable standard i.e. BS4872
