Arc welding techniques have been widely used in almost all manufacturing industries. This module will provide comprehensive training on different arc welding processes, such as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Plasma Arc Welding (PAW), Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). The module will also cover the weldability of various materials such as aluminium, titanium, and nickel alloys, low alloy steels, and stainless steels. Project based case studies will be carried out to enable the students to practise the applications of arc welding for different materials.
