Welding licence courses - welding methods
Welding training
Our company provides courses on welding qualifications and has been a leader in this field for years. We focus primarily on practical knowledge, but also on theoretical knowledge. The courses are taught by professionals who have been working in the welding industry for many years, so that the trainee can be sure that the skills he has acquired can be successfully applied in his future work.
As part of the training we offer:
- theoretical and practical classes taught by qualified professionals,
- training materials,
- protective equipment, tools and space for practical activities,
- examination and receipt of the required certificates and qualifications.
It is also possible to renew your entitlement. In this case, welcome to contact us with us to arrange an individual appointment.
Topics covered during the course
Our courses are not only a comprehensive knowledge of welding methods and the materials used. We also train on occupational health and safety and the duties of a welder.
Welding - what exactly is it?
Welding can be called the process of joining different types of metals by means of heat, which melts the edges of the metal and then welds them to another part. This is a simplified definition that easily illustrates what welders do professionally. There are many methods of welding. We will present and describe the most important ones below.
Gas-shielded metal-welding method
It is the most popular and widely used method in welding. It involves welding of metals in gas shielding using so-called fusible electrodes. This method is divided into two groups:
- MIG (Metal Insert Gas) - in this case, inert gases such as helium and argon are used.
- MAG (Metal Active Gas) - this method uses active gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide or nitrogen. They can also be used together with the inert gases mentioned above.
Submerged Arc Welding Method
For this technique, the accuracy of the welder is extremely important. It is not without reason that it is referred to as the mechanised method. It looks as follows. A deposit of granular flux covers the arc, which glows between the electrode and the metal parts to be welded. In this way, the flux protects this structure from exposure to air.
Gas welding method
This method uses a wire to weld two pieces of metal together. Welders primarily use acetylene for this, as in this case, the combustion temperature exceeds 3000°C. As a result, welding proves to be undemanding and faster than other methods.
Metal arc welding with covered electrodes
This method of welding requires a high level of qualification and skill on the part of the worker. However, by the same token, it is the most common method, for a large number of metals. This is mainly due to the wide range of parameters, the large number of electrodes and the various welding arrangements. This method involves creating a so-called arc between the metal to be welded and the electrode, which turns into a kind of joint at the fused edges. A cover is then formed, which protects against oxygen and nitrogen entering from the atmosphere.
Why us?
We have been in the market for more than 15 years and have successfully organised course after course. Our focus is on giving the trainees detailed knowledge of the welding industry so that they can later apply it in their work. If necessary, we arrange the training plan and the scope of the training in order to best meet the needs of our customers.
Questions and answers
What is the difference between MIG and MAG welding?
The MIG (Metal Insert Gas) method uses inert gases and the MAG (Metal Active Gas) method uses active gases.
Which welding method is the easiest?
The easiest method seems to be gas welding. In this case, a wire is used to join two pieces of metal together. Acetylene is used for this, which results in a combustion temperature of over 3,000°C.
What do you offer as part of your welding licence course?
We offer protective clothing and specialised equipment for practical tasks, teaching materials, experienced training staff and the acquisition of welding qualifications required for welding (after passing an exam).
