Welding Metallurgy Training
This course equips you with essential welding metallurgy knowledge for shafts and flanges. Explore how heat input, microstructure changes, machining practices, and residual stresses cause cracking, and master prevention strategies including optimised procedures, filler metals, preheat, PWHT, and thorough inspections for dependable welds that stand up to tough conditions.

What will I learn?
Gain practical insights into welding metallurgy to minimise cracking, manage hardness, and boost reliability. Understand thermal cycle effects on microstructure, hydrogen and stress-induced failures, and implement preheat, PWHT, consumable choices, joint designs, machining, and testing to avoid defects and prolong component lifespan.
