BackgroundThe Department of Metal

Fabrication and Welding atDublin Institute of Technolo-gy has being providing train-ing in Oxy Acetylene, MIGand TIG and Manual MetalArc Welding for many years.

These courses have enabledparticipants to achieve certi-fication to ASME IX level. Asa result this opens up oppor-tunities for employment andbusiness that were previous-ly unavailable.

What is ASME IX and why is ASME IX important?Welding certications to ASME IX are for use with the ASME boiler andpressure vessel code or the ASME pipe work codes. Achieving this certi-cation demonstrates that an accredited fabricator is capable of workingunsupervised on site and can perform a large amount of their own onsiteinspection without the involvement of an independent inspection body.

Certication Process

Generally speaking there are a number of steps involved in qualifyingwelders and welding procedures .

1. The rst step involves the preparation of the welding procedurespecication (WPS). This is done in accordance with the ASME IXstandard procedures by an externally approved company (EIS).

2. The second step includes the testing and qualication of the weld-er and the certication of the tests for a welders performancequalication. The test process is completed at DIT and the certi-

cation is completed by EIS following examination of test coupons.ASM

Course ContentCourses will be available at basic and advanced level in Manual Metal Arc, Oxy Acety-lene, MIG, TIG, and advanced level MMA in thin walled sheet and pipe and heavy

plate and pipe.

DURATIONThe duration of these welding courses is 60 hours and all courses are delivered over10 weeks on 2 nights each week for 3 hours per night. Please note that this is dier-ent to previous years. Certication testing takes place on the last night of thecourse.

FEESRegistration and tuition fees for each course costs 795 for the 2012/2013 academic

year and are payable in advance of commencement of the course. Additional feesare payable for completion of ASME IX and EN287 test coupons.

LOCATIONCourses are held in the Welding Workshops at the Department of Metal Fabrication

Summary Information

Manual Metal Arc Welding is a joining pro-cess involving the use of a ux coated stickelectrode as a lling material in creating aweld. Either AC or DC current can be used

to provide the electrical power during theprocess. Its primary applications are in join-ing iron and steels.

Metal Inter Gas (MIG) and Tungsten InertGas (TIG) Welding are gas shielded weldingprocesses. MIG uses a continuous llingwire and is most commonly used on plaincarbon steel metals while TIG uses a llingrod and is most commonly used on Alumini-um and Stainless Steel.

Oxy Acetylene Welding uses oxygen andacetylene gas to generate a high tempera-ture ame that is used to melt the edges ofthe metal to be joined. It is commonly usedon steel sheet and may be used in conjunc-tion with a lling rod as required. Brazingwhich uses a brass lling rod is a variant onthis welding process.

Specialised Joining include Hybrid LaserArc welding which combines the benets of

gas and laser arc welding to provide im-proved penetration and better joints. ColdMetal Transfer(CMT) provides potential forjoining of dissimilar metals and has applica-tions in the aeronautical and automotiveindustries. Diusion Bondingis used to joindissimilar metals and ceramics.

Equipment and Materials Available for the Course

Oxyacetylene cutting and welding torches, manual metal arc plants, (many dierentmanufacturer types available). All materials will be supplied. Participants are advisedto purchase their own personal protection equipment for hygiene reasons.

Overview of CourseThis Level 1 welding programme is structured to meet the needs of individuals whowish to gain a qualication in gas or manual metal arc welding as part of on -goingprofessional development. Ideally applicants should be able to demonstrate a basicknowledge and skill level in Oxy Gas or MMA welding though this is not essential.During the course participants will work towards gaining EN287 certication involvingbutt and llet welds on plates and pipes. All students should be able to progress toDT040 and DT041 depending on skill level achieved.

Total Attendance is 60 Hours; 3 hours/night for 2 nights per week over 10 weeks.

Course FeesThe cost of this course for period 2011/2012 is 795, and is payable in advance. Unem-

ployed applicants for the course may be able to obtain nancial support from FAS ortheir local Social Welfare oce for the course fees. The Institute will provide an o-cial statement of the course costs on request for this purpose. Please note that aplace is only conrmed on the course on payment of the appropriate fee . Examina-tions fees of approximately 150 must be paid by any participant wishing to take ASMEor EN examinations. This is normally paid in weeks 7 or 8.
