INTRODUCTION

Welding is one of the most widely used metal joining techniques for fabrication. Most Industrial structures are fabricated or repaired by welding, which is not ornamental, but is what carries the load of the members, and is critical for structural integrity. Welding design, which is satisfactory for one part may not necessarily be adequate for another. Working conditions and application requirements are vital elements for good design. Communicating the design to the shop is always a challenge to a designer. Hence clear understanding of welding symbology and the standards nullifies ambiguity in drawings and makes the design intent clear, ensuring seamless communication between design, manufacturing, and quality teams enabling a concurrent engineering environment. A good design also needs to be verified by methods prescribed by relevant codes before fabrication, both for structural and human safety.

Keeping this in mind, IMTMA is conducting a training program on Design for Welding, for providing and understanding of symbols for communication; effective design, and verification, which are key to meet design objectives.
