Course Overview
How to Create and Interpret the Graphical Symbols Used to Define a Welded Joint
Welding symbols are the graphical tools, placed on engineering drawings and specifications, that product engineers and designers use to communicate the intent of their design to the people who are making and inspecting the products. Details like the type, shape, length, thickness, and location of the weld are all communicated through these welding symbols.
And like all symbols, without an understanding of how they work, they're meaningless. But in this course, "Understanding Welding Symbols", we show you how to read and interpret these symbols.
Metallurgist and Licensed Professional Engineer, Garry Pace is the instructor for this course. Over the past 20+ years, Garry has taught thousands of welders, weld inspectors, quality engineers, quality technicians, and other manufacturing professionals the fundamentals of welding, along with its procedures and specifications.
In this course, you will learn:
An overview of the major welding processes like GTAW, GMAW, SMAW, SAW and FCAW
All the major weld joint types
Welding symbols ... what they mean and why they're important
All the terminology and concepts needed to master welding symbols
How groove and fillet welds are specified and dimensioned
How plug, slot, and stud welds are specified and dimensioned
Supplementary information and symbols
An overview of nondestructive testing methods like ultrasonic, liquid penetrant, x-ray, and magnetic particle inspection
How required NDT methods are specified on blueprints
Overviews on weld pass types, weld penetration, joint and edge preparation, and pre- and post-heat treating.
Plus 14 downloadable resources including:
Introductory Guide to SMAW
SMAW Process Study Guide
Introductory Guide to GMAW

Currently in a trade school for welding and building my knowledge before hopping out into the field. I will say I took this course just to compare it to the course I went through in school. The only difference is that in our school, of course, we were able to go out into the shop and weld out what was shown in the symbol. That's the only difference; everything in this course is exactly what we learned in the short classroom portion we would sit in each day. Good work, and if I wanted to learn welding symbols and such without going to school, this is definitely the go-to.

Info on welding methods is good. Weld symbol training is ok. Videos regularly repeat themselves. Could be half the length

I am learning as a new hire engineer about quality inspecting weldments. This is very helpful because it helps me understand what is in shop. I know now that we use Mig welding.
