The practical skills are imparted in simple to complex manner & simultaneously theory subject is taught in the same fashion to apply cognitive knowledge while executing task. The safety aspects covers components like OSH&E, PPE, Fire extinguisher, First Aid and in addition 5S being taught. The practical part starts with edge preparation by hacksawing, filing and fitting followed by Oxy Acetylene & Brazing, Oxy Acetylene Cutting, Shielded Metal Arc, Gas Metal Arc, Gas Tungsten Arc and Spot, Plasma Cutting and Arc Gouging. These processes are widely used in Industries.
During the practice on / Brazing process, the trainees will learn to read the job drawing, select the required base metal and filler metals, cut the metals by appropriate process, carry out edge preparation, setup the plant and do /Brazing on M.S, SS, Aluminium and Copper in different positions. On completion of each job the trainees will also evaluate their jobs by visual inspection, and identify the defects for further correction/improvement. They learn to adapt precautionary measures such as preheating; maintaining inter-pass temperature and post weld heat treatment for Alloy steel, Cast Iron etc. The Work Shop calculation taught will help them to plan and cut the required jobs economically without wasting the material and also used in estimating the Electrodes, filler metals etc. The Workshop Science taught will help them to understand the materials and properties, effect of alloying elements etc. Engineering Drawing taught will be applied while reading the job drawings and will be useful in understanding the location, type and size of weld to be carried out.
