THE HOBART INSTITUTE OF WELDING TECHNOLOGY OFFERS YOU BOTH FIELD AND SPECIALIZED TRAINING AT YOUR FACILITY
to make your welding more productive and profitable
All major arc welding processes covered
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2007


The Hobart Institute of Welding Technology has trained over 80,000 students and has been closely associated with the welding industry since 1930. This experience has convinced us that the most productive welding training is aimed at solving specific industry needs. Hobart Field Training and Specialized Training programs - using advanced skill and technical training that incorporates the latest state-of-the-art technology - are designed to meet these needs.

For further information,
please call the Director of Training at (937) 332-5609, or (800) 332 9448 ext. 5609
or email us at: hiwt@welding.org

HOBART IN PLANT OR FIELD TRAINING PROGRAMS involve the teaching, by our skilled instructors, of advanced skill and/or technical training courses at your location - and can run from 5 days up to as long as a year or more in length as required.

HOBART SPECIALIZED TRAINING PROGRAMS involve the designing of tailored courses to meet the specific objectives of your company - and are taught to your employees at the Hobart Institute. These programs can run 5 days - or up to 6 weeks or more in length as required.

 

Since Field and Specialized Training programs are based on specific needs and problems, they vary considerably from one company to another. For example, the cost of downtime in utility companies is unbelievably expensive - therefore, specialized maintenance welding techniques must be emphasized. However, in a more typical industrial situation, the biggest need may be the avoidance of rework.

Whatever your specific welding needs and problems may be, we can help you. Phone Ron Scott today at (937) 332-5609 to discuss your needs.


SPECIALIZED OR IN-PLANT TRAINING for TOOL & DIE WELDING
designed to meet manufacturing needs

Questions often arise concerning the welding of tool steel and the importance of proper welding sequence and procedures. In response to those concerns, the Hobart Institute works with corporate customers and manufacturers by tailoring training to meet specific needs. The Tool and Die Welding Course may be customized and will cover major areas including:

  1. Surface preparation of the weld

  2. Pretreatment of the metal including preheating temperatures

  3. Weld bead sequencing

  4. Techniques and recommended tools for measuring heat input

  5. Cooling rate quenching or indirect cooling

  6. Post heating or tempering the weld deposit

The duration of the course is flexible and based on the welder’s existing knowledge and skill. Hobart Institute can make an assessment, identify your training needs and make a recommendation as to how many days of training an individual may need to become a better tool and die welder. The course can take place either in your facility or at our institute.


SPECIALIZED OR IN-PLANT Welding TRAINING AND Certification for Aerospace applications

Hobart Institute of Welding Technology (HIWT) has been working closely with the aerospace industry to customize training modules for the classroom to meet the specific needs including purging techniques, heat input, and basic metallurgy of the “Super Alloys” used in this industry. Drawing on many years of experience, HIWT conducts hands-on, specialized welding and brazing training for sheet and tubing using steel or aluminum alloys, stainless steels, nickel-based alloys, cobalt and titanium. The duration of the training is flexible and based on existing knowledge and skill. We can make an assessment, identify training needs and make a recommendation as to how many days of training an individual may need to become a good aircraft-maintenance welder. The course can take place either in your facility or at our institute.

 Hobart Institute also conducts welder certifications to your company specifications, AWS QCWI or the AWS D17.1 Specification for Fusion welding for Aerospace Applications. We maintain all hard copy test records backed up by an electronic database. HIWT’s certified welding inspectors and ASNT Level III staff gives us the ability to perform the radiography and metallographic testing in our own laboratories with a very short turn around time.
