SMAW On Aluminium, stainless and cast iron

The SMAW on Aluminium, Stainless Steel and Cast Iron (MATSA401) module provides learners with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to perform Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) on a variety of metals. The course emphasizes workplace preparation, including material selection, tool and equipment setup, and the application of safety measures. Learners develop competence in welding different metals specifically aluminium, stainless steel, and cast iron by applying appropriate SMAW techniques, cutting methods, and defect correction procedures to ensure high-quality welds. The module also covers finishing operations, such as surface treatment, product protection, storage, workplace cleaning, and technical reporting. By the end of the course, students will be able to safely and effectively weld, finish, and maintain products made from various metals, following industrial standards of quality and safety.
