TIG Welding (GTAW)

Our TIG Welding Training Workshop is an instructor-led practical based training event for up to 8 delegates. The 1½ day training workshop is designed for all personnel engaged in or supervising TIG (GTAW) welding.

Benefits include:-

• Safer, better informed operators
• Reduced risk of of personal injury or plant damage
• Increased operator skill levels and reduced reject rates
• Increased productivity and reduced downtime

The training gives delegates the opportunity to practice their process skills under the guidance of our trainer, while also receiving essential safety awareness information.

Practical MIG (GMAW) Welding Training Workshop Overview

• Personal safety
• Safe use of shielding gases
• Safety in the use of equipment
• Electrical safety
• The types of current and its effects (AC/DC)
• The need for extraction
• Selection of the correct shielding gases
• How shielding gases work
• Types of electrodes & correct electrode selection
• Electrode sharpening techniques
• Cleaning procedues
• How a TIG machine works
• Component parts of a TIG machine
• Correct set-up of a TIG machine
• Correct use of torch and filler rod angles
• Correct set-up and tacking procedures
• Rectification of faults
• Correct travel speed

• Practice to reach an acceptable standard

What You Will Learn

The workshop will enable participants to:

• Appreciate the importance of safe working procedues and to be aware of the consequences of adopting poor working practices
• Develop an awareness of the hazards associated with the welding process and to approach risk assessments in a real world situation
• Correct welding techniques - theoretical fundamentals of the TIG process, which are then reinforced during the practical sessions
• Improve skill levels - the initial practical focuses on the correct set-up of a TIG welding set and how to fault find. The second practical session gives delegates the opportunity to practice techniques; recognise, appreciate causes of and rectify faults; adjust voltage and current settings to suit the work being undertaken; weld in the flat condition to an acceptable standard
