III. COURSE COORDINATOR:

Dr. Eng. Khalid Mohamed Hafez

IV. GENERAL COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course introduces the welders to the fundamentals of Welding. It provides the
welders with opportunities for hands-on training in shielded metal arc welding (SMAW),
gas tungsten arc welding (TIG), gas metal arc welding (MIG) and Submerged arc
welding (SAW). The welders will also be instructed welding basics, welding metallurgy,
welding defects, and repair welding.

V. COURSE OUTLINE:
Topics to be covered are:
• Course introduction, Basic weld joints, and positions
• Shielded Metal Arc Welding
• Gas Metal Arc Welding
• Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
• Automatic Submerged Arc Welding

VI. COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Welders will learn the processes and safety issues involved in the usage of the various
welding gases.
Welders will develop the skills needed to weld.
Welders will learn the basics of welding ferrous metals.
Welders will learn the basic set-up configurations of various welding equipment.
.
VII. WELDERS LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Upon successful completion of this course, the welders will be able to:
• Identify quality welds that are the product of various welding techniques and gases
• Understand how to operate the equipment in a manner that keeps the welders and
others in the immediate area safe
• Successfully weld metals utilizing each of the four welding processes
• Use the welding machines and welding equipment safely and proficiently
• Select and use the correct filler rods and gases to weld steel
