Introduction to Destructive and Nondestructive Examination $199

ICC PREFERRED PROVIDER COURSE # 19028 6 HOURS/0.6 CEU

Many of those involved in the welding industry will be exposed to destructive and nondestructive testing at some point in their career. Wouldn’t it be great if you understood what the technician is talking about? What does CVN mean? What is shearwave? Why can’t we do MT on aluminum? What do you mean I shouldn’t try to radiograph a T-joint? In this 6hr course we will discuss the basics of Destructive and Nondestructive Examination methods and how they are used in the construction industry.

Some of the testing methods we will cover are:

Macro etching
Tensile Testing
Fracture Toughness Tests
Radiography
Ultrasonics
Liquid Penetrant

Aside from the various methods we will discuss, we will also go over the common NDT certification schemes used in the United States. NDT qualifications are typically governed by one’s employer with guidelines established by the American Society of Nondestructive Testing, but it’s not that simple. Over the years, the process to become a qualified NDT technician has become very complicated. We will cover certification schemes in a step-by-step method to ensure understanding. This course is part of Modules 6&7 of AINDT’s CWI Fundamental Training.

Welding Defects & Discontinuities $99

ICC PREFERRED PROVIDER COURSE # 19027 3 HOURS/0.3 CEU

Welding Defects & Discontinuities will showcase the various welding defects that an inspector needs to be able to identify and evaluate to different codes and standards. Additionally, we will discuss common welding gauges used to measure these discontinuities as well as common code requirements.

A sample of discontinuities discussed are:

Excessive Reinforcement
Overlap
Undercut
Incomplete Fusion
Centerline Cracking
Hydrogen Cracking
Lamellar Tearing

It is fundamental for inspectors, engineers and welders alike to be capable of identifying, evaluating and determining acceptability of the various types of welding discontinuities. It is also paramount that we understand the correct terminology for discontinuities. Communication is key in construction and without it, production can grind to a halt. This course is Module 6 of AINDT’s CWI Fundamental Training.

Introduction to Welding Metallurgy $199

ICC PREFERRED PROVIDER COURSE # 19024 6 HOURS/0.6 CEU

Sometimes the rules laid forth in welding codes either don’t seem very important or make much sense. Why do we preheat? Why are there exposure rules for low-hydrogen electrodes? Why do we have to wait until the weld cools to inspect? These are all very good questions, and the answer is, metallurgy.

This 6hr course will review several topics including:

Steel Making
Welding Metallurgy
Distortion Control
Property Modification

Metallurgy is a difficult subject to understand. We try to break the knowledge down to help comprehend the complexities that is involved with welding metallurgy. Become familiar with what Alloys are, how to calculate carbon equivalency, and why we care. Understand why we care about heat input and what effects it has on the welded joint. Ensure you are up to speed on hydrogen embrittlement and how to prevent it. Introduction to Welding Metallurgy is Module 5 of AINDT’s CWI Welding Fundamentals Training.

Understanding Welding Joint Geometry $99

ICC PREFERRED PROVIDER COURSE #19022 3 HOURS/0.3 CEU

This short course will provide you with 3 hours of instruction on the various types of welded connections most used in the structural steel industry. Whether you are a welding inspector, building official or engineer this course will help familiarize you with the complexities of welded connections.

Single V, Double V, Flare Bevel, CJP, PJP, Backing Weld or Groove Face. These are all terms that anyone associated with the welding industry should know like the back of their hand. If not, then this course will teach you. Welding terminology and the variety of welded connections can be very confusing, not only those who are not involved in the welding industry, but also those who may have gotten a tad rusty and could use a refresher. Be sure you understand the intricacies of welded connections by enveloping yourself in our weld joint geometry short course.
