About Welding Quality Control
T
he Basics of Welding Quality Control is a
course designed to allow candidates, who
have no industry experience, to quickly
familiarise themselves with the basics of welding
quality control. The course introduces welding
terminology, gives a brief description of common
welding processes, material science, inspection
techniques, welding and fabrication codes, quality
control documentation, basic mathematics and
science.

was previously in the Welding Inspection Level 1
course. The course is also for those who do not
meet direct entry requirements to the IWIP-B
Basic course.
This course is intended for anyone who wishes

to enter the field of fabrication and serves as a
basis to begin a career in welding quality control
and inspection. The course can be used to access
other courses in Welding Inspection or Welding
Coordination/Supervision. The course meets the
syllabus requirements of Module 0 for IIW courses.

About Appreciation of Welding
W
elding is a complex subject with many welding processes
available ranging from the traditional “stick” welding
through to advanced processes such as laser welding.
In addition, there are many materials for the engineer to utilise

including a large range of ferrous alloys ranging from steel alloys
through to cast iron as well as non-ferrous alloys. Techniques have
also been developed for welding plastics, ceramics and other
exotic materials. The Appreciation of Welding course is designed to
provide candidates with an overview of welding technology in order
to understand welding better and make informed welding related
decisions.
With increasing operating stresses and temperatures, use of new

materials and innovative designs, engineers are finding it increasingly
difficult to contain maintenance and fabrication costs due to their
lack of knowledge of welding technology and related sciences. With
increased knowledge of welding technology, it has been proven that
substantial cost savings are possible.
Personnel in senior positions must have an appreciation of

welding technology to ensure that maintenance, fabrication and
construction work is being carried out effectively in terms of quality
and cost effectiveness.

Portable Hardness Testing
T
he main purpose of hardness testing is to determine
the suitability of a material for a given application.
Conventional hardness testers, like Rockwell, Brinell or

Vickers machines, require the test piece be brought to
the testing device, but this is not always possible.
Portable hardness testing devices have been developed

that permit in-situ hardness measurements thus offering
quick and economical supplements to conventional,
stationary testing machines.
This three day course will define hardness, conventional

methods of hardness testing and various methods of
portable hardness testing. Practical session during the
course will give hands on experience on the portable
hardness testing machines with various samples ranging
from steel, stainless steel, aluminium and plastics.

Replica Metallography
M
etallographic inspections play a key role in determining the
remaining life assessment, creep life of pressure vessels,
pipelines, power plants and in verifying the material and heat
treatment of fabricated equipment. In those instances, destructive
metallographic tests are unsuitable as further usability of the component
is required. Replica metallographic technique is an in-situ, non-
destructive technique to reveal the microstructure of components.
The usual method of metallographic investigation involves cutting pieces

from the component sothat laboratory preparation and examination can
be performed. However, in replica metallography, after proper surface
preparation through the use of cellulose acetate sheets, the technician
makes a copy (for this reason it is called “replica”) of the microstructure
of the metal surface, which will be examined using an optical microscope.
The four day course on replica metallography will give an insight into the
different types of materials, importance of metallography, and how to do
lab metallography and replica metallography. On successful completion
of the course, the candidate will be a competent replica technician.
Evaluation of the metallographs is undertaken by a qualified metallurgist.

About IIW International Welder
INTRODUCTION
S
outh Africa is in need of high quality welding skills. The
International Institute of Welding (IIW) has developed
a training programme for welders where the IIW seeks
to achieve harmonisation in the training, examination and
qualification testing of welders in the world. The training
and assessment is linked to the requirements of ISO 9606,
which provides a scheme for qualification testing of welders.
Internationally, and specifically in South Africa, industry
requires welders with more skill for the sake of flexibility in
production. The International Welder programme provides
a combination of comprehensive theoretical knowledge and
high practical skills assessed by tests of increasing difficulty
including ISO 9606 qualification tests and by theoretical
examinations. The programme is presented at three
different levels which are progressive, fillet, plate and pipe
welder.
Training times for practical welding vary from person to

person; therefore the training times detailed on page 57
are based on previous training experience. It is possible
to finish the required modules in a shorter period of time
whilst some individuals may require additional training time
compared to that indicated in the table on page 57.
PAGE 55
About IIW International Welder
OBTAINING QUALIFICATION FOR EXPERIENCED WELDERS

Experienced welders may enter the programme at any level. In order to
obtain the qualification, the relevant theory training and examination will
need to be completed along with all the relevant qualification (including
lower levels, ie Module A & B) tests pertaining to the qualification required.
Example: If a welder requires the International Pipe Welder qualification
(all positions) for TIG welding, the theory modules and examinations (A,
B, C & ST – 9 days) would need to be completed and the 5 qualification
tests (Fillet, Plate & Pipe) as detailed opposite. No practical training is
necessary if the welder is competent to achieve the required quality
standard as detailed in international standards (ISO 9606) for all the
required qualification tests. Once an assessment has been undertaken on
the welders skill level, an individual training programme can be specified
which will be quoted individually.
OUTCOMES OF TRAINING
Upon completion of the course, trainees will be able to demonstrate the
required level of skill in accordance with ISO9606 or similar standard
(ASME IX) and pass the required theoretical examination. Candidates
will be able to produce basic Fillet, Plate and Pipe Welds with the chosen
welding process depending on the level of qualification and have a basic
understanding of the theory of welding. The graduating welder will be
awarded with an IIW Diploma plus a Welder Performance Qualification
(WPQ) as per International Standards.
