This online engineering PDH course provides prospective tradesmen with the basic understanding of the theory, principles, methods, and techniques related to modern arc welding.
Qualified welders are needed in different branches of metal and building industries, as well as in pipelines, automotive, aircraft - and shipbuilding industries. Simply stated, welding is a process of permanent joining of materials (usually metals) through localized coalescence resulting from suitable combination of temperature, pressure and metallurgical conditions. Depending upon the combination of temperature and pressure from a high temperature with no pressure to a high pressure with low temperature, a wide range of welding processes have been developed. Various welding processes differ in the manner in which temperature and pressure are combined and can be classified as gas welding, arc welding, resistance welding, solid state welding, thermo-chemical welding and radiant energy welding. Out of these types gas welding and arc welding are two most common methods employed in industry.
This 5 PDH online course is aimed at students, mechanical, structural and process engineers, professional welders, facility managers, H & S professionals, environmentalists, energy auditors and anyone who wants a basic understanding of welding principles.

This online engineering PDH course provides understanding of oxy-acetylene welding and cutting, as well as safety practices.
The oxy-fuel method of welding and cutting metals has tremendous power of creating, repairing and destroying the work of man. Oxy-fuel process uses heat created by combustion of fuel (most commonly acetylene) to melt the base material. In case of welding, two parts are brought to a molten condition along the line to be joined and fused together. Whereas in cutting, one piece of metal, when brought to a red heat is cut in two by an oxidizing flame. Oxy-acetylene cutting can be used to cut thicknesses from 2/8″ to up to 12″.
The oxy-acetylene process is extremely versatile and can be used for welding, cutting, heating, soldering and brazing. It can be used on any thickness of metal, however the operation can be difficult to master, and there are some serious safety issues owing to the extreme flammability of acetylene and the high pressure of the gas cylinders.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the properties and behavior of materials, including stress and strain, thermal expansion, ductility, brittleness, creep, fatigue failure and more.
The purpose of this course is to briefly introduce several material properties and failure modes. A better understanding of these failure mechanisms will enable more appropriate decisions when selecting materials for a particular application. Even a basic knowledge and awareness can help design engineers to be better equipped in delaying or preventing the failure of a material or component.
Some general causes for failure are structural loading, wear, corrosion, and latent defects. Because most engineering materials contain discontinuities most metal fatigue cracks initiate from discontinuities in highly stressed regions of the component. Failure can occur in systems with moving or non-moving parts. In systems with moving parts, friction often leads to material degradation such as wear, and collisions between two components can result in surface or more extensive material damage. Systems with non-moving parts are also prone to material failure, especially when certain types of materials operate over a broad range of pressures and are subjected to extreme temperature changes or to high energy radiation environments.

This online engineering PDH course provides insight to the type of refractories, their properties and applications, and how they may be applied to give better fuel efficiency and service life.
Refractories are inorganic, nonmetallic heat resistant materials that can withstand extreme temperatures, and in many cases chemical attack, abrasion, thermal shock and rough handling. These are widely used in the lining of high temperature surfaces such as furnaces, kilns, reactors and other processing units in manufacturing, thermal, metallurgical and chemical equipments worldwide.
Refractory selection for a specific application is invariably built upon a combination of material qualities and its composition. Refractories are expensive, and any failure in the refractories can result in a great loss of production time, equipment, and sometimes the product itself. The various types of refractories also influence energy consumption and product quality; therefore, the problem of obtaining refractories best suited to each application is of supreme importance.
