MODERN WELDING METHODS  

Modern welding is based on several specialised methods. They are applied according to the type of materials, welding temperature and types of joining of components. 

  • TIG method - This is a common way of arc welding using a non-fusible electrode protected by a gas shield. Parts are joined by melting the base material with an additional material. Welding takes place only at a specific arc temperature.  
  • MAG method - In this method, welding is carried out using an electric arc. The arc is formed between a consumable electrode and the material to be welded. The welding process is shielded by a shielding gas stream. This method is versatile and is used for joining unalloyed, high-alloyed and low-alloy steels.  
  • Gas method 311 - The welding flame is produced by burning gas - acetylene. The welding process occurs by heating the parts to be welded with the flame and melting the edges of the object with the filler metal. 
  • Electrical method 111 - The main welding element is the covered electrode. The weld consists of the coating, the melted edges of the material and the electrode core. The joining of the workpieces takes place by melting the electrode with the material to be welded by means of an electric arc. The welding temperature plays a major role here. 

TRAINING - PROGRESS 

More than 20 years of training experience have enabled us to develop an optimal teaching plan. The courses are theoretical and practical, where it is the trainee who chooses the type of course: open or closed. The lecturers will impart the necessary knowledge on the construction and operation of the welding machine. A staff of specialists will show you how to use the equipment correctly. In addition, you will be introduced to health and safety standards and a first aid course. Comprehensive training will enable you to pass the Welding Institute exam. 

EXAM FROM A TO Z 

The examination process can start soon after the course. All you need to do is make an appointment for the examination.

The Inspectorate of the Welding Institute in Gliwice is the nationwide examination centre for welders - it supervises the issuing of: 

  • Welder's Books.
  • TÜV SUD certifications.
  • Qualification Examination Certificates in multilingual versions. They are valid throughout the European Union for a period of 2 years. 

The course of the exam will begin with a written test with closed questions. The next stage will be the performance of a number of welding tasks supervised before a committee of the Welding Institute. A positive result will guarantee the receipt of all the certificates mentioned above.
