Catalog description

This course is restricted to students presently studying under the direction and oversight of an approved apprenticeship program, working in partnership with Columbus State Community College. Content of this course focuses on defects that affect the size, shape, and contour of welds; defects that affect the internal continuity of welds; and defects that affect the property of the base and weld materials. This course explains the cause of such defects and tells how they can be prevented or corrected. This course also shows two ways to remove defective welds, and presents destructive and non-destructive examinations that can be used to locate weld defects on the surface and in its interior.
