Materials, Science and Calculations for Fabrication and Welding Practice
Verified
Key Learning Objectives:
- Learners will understand differences in various metals, the way in which they are identified and the properties each have which will allow them to be used for certain applications and how materials are supplied to industry in different forms, sizes and profiles. Introductions to the application and use of welding terms and symbols are covered relating to fillet and butt welded joints. Simple applications of science are covered to enable the learner to understand how materials behave during the application of heat. This unit also covers the basic application of mathematics related to welding and fabrication activities and at a level that the learner should be able to understand and use confidently. This unit is assessed by a 30 question externally set MCQ (multiple choice question) examination.
