WELDING FUNDAMENTALS III

•  Individuals who are new to welding or have limited experience in the field.
• This course is ideal for students, apprentices, and professionals who want to acquire the foundational knowledge and skills required for welding.
• Anyone seeking to prepare for the AWS Certified Welding Inspector exam
  • This student body may encompass many positions, including:
    • Welders
    • Welding engineers
    • Welding inspectors
    • Welding supervisors

No previous knowledge is required. This course presents concepts in clear, easy-to-understand language and easily digestible chunks of information. We will start at the beginning, explain every term and topic, and provide practice questions to ensure learners understand the material. However, students with no welding background whatsoever may benefit from gaining a general understanding of basic welding processes and welding terminology. This prerequisite knowledge can be obtained by:

• Taking the AWS Welding Fundamentals I online course
• Taking the AWS Welding Fundamentals II online course
• Obtaining and reading a copy of AWS A3.0 Standard Terms and Definitions

This course teaches students how to:

• Provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of the most used brazing and soldering processes, including torch, furnace, dip, and induction brazing, as well as iron, torch, furnace, dip, and wave soldering
• Teach learners about the basic science, equipment, consumables, process variables, safety precautions, and advantages and disadvantages inherent to each brazing and soldering process
• Present course content in short, easy-to-understand modules, using a variety of multimedia resources

Upon completion of Welding Fundamentals III, students will be able to:

• Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the basic science and practical application of the most used brazing and soldering processes. Identify the specific equipment, consumables, process variables, safety precautions, and advantages and disadvantages inherent to each brazing and soldering process
• Analyze and evaluate the suitability of different brazing and soldering processes for specific applications
• Demonstrate intermediate-level brazing and soldering skills related to the covered processes
• Interpret and apply brazing and soldering codes and standards related to the covered processes
• Apply theoretical knowledge of brazing and soldering to practical scenarios involving the covered processes
• Communicate effectively with peers and colleagues regarding brazing and soldering processes, equipment, consumables, safety precautions, and results
