• Certifications align with the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), integrating with regular academic degrees through VAC (Value Added Courses), AECC (Ability Enhancement Career Courses), and SEC (Skill Enhancement Courses)
• Academic credits earned are recognized under the National Credit Framework (NCrF).
• These credits are transferable and accepted by AICTE/UGC-recognized institutions.
• Credits are stored and verified through the Government’s Academic Bank of Credits and Digilocker.
• Programs are flexible, affordable, and designed to deliver specialized, large-scale skill Education.

The Certificate in Industrial Metallurgy and Welding Technology is a skill-based professional program designed to train students in metal behavior, welding processes, material testing, and fabrication practices used in core industries such as Oil & Gas, Power Plants, Refineries, Heavy Fabrication, and EPC projects.

This program is ideal for candidates who want hands-on technical careers in manufacturing, welding inspection, QA/QC support, and metallurgy-related roles.

What the Course Covers

Industrial Metallurgy Basics:

• Properties of metals (carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, etc.)
• Heat treatment fundamentals
• Failure analysis (cracks, corrosion, distortion)
• Material identification & selection
• Welding metallurgy (HAZ, microstructure changes)

Welding Technology

• You’ll learn practical and theoretical aspects of:
• SMAW / GTAW / GMAW / SAW welding processes
• Welding defects & prevention
• Weld joint design & symbols
• WPS / PQR / WPQ basics
• Fit-up & visual inspection
• Introduction to NDT coordination (UT / RT / MT / PT overview)
• The curriculum typically aligns with international practices followed by bodies like the
  American Welding Society and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
