Destructive Testing

Destructive-Testing-DT_WEBOPT.jpg

Destructive testing is an essential part of ensuring the integrity and performance of the welds used to manufacture everything from cars, planes, and ships to bridges, buildings, and pipelines. Destructive testing methods are also used for applications such as welding procedure qualification, welder performance qualification testing, and material verification. This engaging online course describes the material properties of metals that can be evaluated with destructive testing, as well as the principles and performance of the most common destructive tests used in the welding industry.

No previous knowledge is required. This course presents DT 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
  • Obtaining and reading a copy of AWS A3.0 Standard Terms and Definitions
  • Understand the principles of destructive testing in welding.
  • Learn the different types of destructive testing techniques and their applications.
  • Learn how to perform destructive testing in accordance with industry standards and guidelines.
  • Understand the safety precautions and equipment needed for destructive testing.
  • Learn how to interpret and evaluate destructive testing results.

Upon completion of Destructive Testing, students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the various destructive testing methods used in welding, including bend tests, tensile tests, and impact tests
  • Identify the strengths and weaknesses of different testing methods and select the appropriate method for a given situation
  • Demonstrate an understanding of welding codes and standards related to destructive testing
  • Conduct destructive tests in a safe and controlled manner, including proper sample preparation, testing procedures, and documentation
  • Analyze and interpret test results and communicate findings effectively
  • Apply knowledge of destructive testing to improve welding processes and weld quality

The completion exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions and must be completed within a 90-minute period. Participants who do not attain the 75% passing score may attempt to retake the exam a second time. Participants who attain a score of 75% or more on the completion exam earn an AWS Certificate of Completion and 10 Professional Development Hours (PDHs). The AWS Certificate of Completion can be downloaded and printed directly from the webpage.

  • Do I need to purchase any other materials?

    No. All the materials and resources necessary to complete the course objectives are included.

  • Do I receive Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for completing this course?

    Yes. Participants that receive a score of 75% or above on the Completion Exam will receive an AWS Certificate of Completion and 10 Professional Development Hours (PDHs).

  • Can I use these Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for recertification?

    Yes. Professional Development Hours (PDHs) earned through AWS online courses can be applied towards recertification provided the PDHs are earned during the certification period

  • Do I receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for completing this course?

    Yes. Participants that receive a score of 75% or above on the Completion Exam will receive an AWS Certificate of Completion and 1 IACET Continuing Education Unit (CEU).
