Welding symbols are the graphical tools, placed on engineering drawings and specifications, that product engineers and designers use to communicate the intent of their design to the people who are making and inspecting the products. Details like the type, shape, length, thickness, and location of the weld are all communicated through these welding symbols.
And like all symbols, without an understanding of how they work, they're meaningless. But in this course, "Understanding Welding Symbols", we show you how to read and interpret these symbols.
Metallurgist and Licensed Professional Engineer, Garry Pace is the instructor for this course. Over the past 20+ years, Garry has taught thousands of welders, weld inspectors, quality engineers, quality technicians, and other manufacturing professionals the fundamentals of welding, along with its procedures and specifications.
In this course, you will learn:
An overview of the major welding processes like GTAW, GMAW, SMAW, SAW and FCAW
All the major weld joint types
Welding symbols ... what they mean and why they're important
All the terminology and concepts needed to master welding symbols
How groove and fillet welds are specified and dimensioned
How plug, slot, and stud welds are specified and dimensioned
Supplementary information and symbols
An overview of nondestructive testing methods like ultrasonic, liquid penetrant, x-ray, and magnetic particle inspection
How required NDT methods are specified on blueprints
PLUS:Late 2024 updates that include overviews on:
Weld pass types
Weld penetration
Joint and edge preparation
Pre- and post-heat treating
We've included in this course far more than just the dry theory. We've included real-life examples and practical applications that can only be learned through years of hands-on experience.
