Welding And Metal Works Training Courses

These self-study courses on Welding and Metal Works are organized into subject matter areas, each containing learning objectives to help you determine what you should learn along with text and illustrations to help you understand the information.

WELDING AND METAL WORKS TRAINING COURSES

1. METAL WORKING AND WELDING OPERATIONS (PDF eBook)

This module covers weldable metals and their alloys, arc welding process, gas-welding processes,

metalworking machines and tools, equipment repair and welding symbols.

2. WELDING MANUAL (PDF eBook)

Welding is any metal joining process wherein coalescence is produced by heating the metal to suitable

temperatures, with or without the application of pressure and with or without the use of filler metals. Basic

welding processes are

described and illustrated in this manual. Brazing and soldering, procedures similar to welding, are also

covered.

3. FLUX CORED ARC WELDING (PDF eBook)

This module covers several of the most widely used environmental communications systems within the METOC

community. It also describes the software programs and products associated with these systems. The module

concludes with a discussion of basic administration procedures.

4. UNDERWATER CUTTING & WELDING MANUAL (PDF eBook)

• This manual is intended to provide information on the use of conventional techniques for cutting and welding

metals underwater. It is written for the U.S. Navy diver who specializes in ship salvage and harbor clearance

operations. It is not a procedural guide for certifiable welding used in pre-planned underwater ship husbandry

applications. Divers who perform underwater cutting and welding must have greater skill and stamina than

those doing the same work topside.

The success and speed of operations depend upon the conditions under which the diver must work because

the underwater environment imposes numerous limitations and restrictions on the operator and equipment. The

diver is often restricted to working for only a short time on the bottom, particularly at deeper depths. The use of

correct techniques and equipment becomes extremely important in terms of work accomplished per hour.

Diving apparel, great depth, adverse currents, low temperature, lack of visibility and unstable footing are all

factors which make underwater cutting and welding difficult.

5. STEELWORKER VOLUME 1 (PDF eBook)

This training module consists of chapters on the following subjects: Properties and Uses of Metal; Basic Heat

Treatment; Introduction to Welding; Gas Cutting; Gas Welding; Soldering, Brazing, Braze Welding, and Wear

facing; Shielded Metal-Arc Welding and Wear facing; and Gas Shielded-Arc Welding.

6. STEELWORKER VOLUME 2 (PDF eBook)

This training module consists of chapters on the following subjects: Construction Administration and Support;

Sheet Metal and Fiber Glass Duct Layout and Fabrication; Structural Steel and Pipe Layout and Fabrication;

Fiber Line; Wire Rope; Rigging and Hoisting; Concrete Construction (Reinforcing Steel); Pre-engineered

Buildings, Towers, and Antennas; Pre-engineered Storage Tanks; Pontoons; and SATS matting.

7. PROTECTIVE COATINGS AND PAINTS (PDF eBook)

This handbook is provided as guidance for personnel wishing to apply architectural paints or protective coatings

to any structures fixed in place. It is not for use with ships, aircraft, or automotive vehicles. It is written for

general use by both those with much and with little knowledge of the use of paint and coating materials. It

contains information on the composition of coatings, their mechanisms of curing, environmental and safety

concerns, necessary surface preparation, selection for different substrates and structures, application,

inspection, and failure analysis.
