This course will allow the attendee to understand the pros/cons of the various processes used in Aerospace welding. They will also understand the various materials used, where and why those materials get selected. The attendees will then learn the different NDE used, where they are used, and what those processes can detect, along with the equipment needed and an idea of what the cost is. The attendee will get a breakdown of all three D17 specifications with a highlight of critical requirements.
