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.
