COURSE OUTCOMES:

At the end of the course, the students should be able to:-

1. Identify type of materials

2. Identify and select parent metal for welding
3. Identify and select welding consumable
4. Handle welding consumables (identify, segregate, store and bake)

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This unit identifies the competence required to provide students with a comprehensive technical understanding of the purpose identifying types
of materials and selecting parent metal for welding by referring to mill certificate and client specification. It also required student to identify and
select welding consumables by referring to welding specification and handling welding consumables by storing and preserving so that the
consumables is kept and maintained without losing its chemical and physical properties and according to manufacturer recommendation.
