Weld-Hit Proficiency

It is essential that anyone that uses the Weld-Hit is properly trained and proficient for the task. 

WARNING: 

• Results of Inter-run or HFMI peening may be ineffective if not done by a competent person. 

• Serious (and costly to fix) damage can be done to the structure/component if peening is applied incorrectly

With every purchase of a Weld-Hit kit, WQMS provides a comprehensive proficiency training and assessment package for Inter-run and HFMI Peening. 

Proficiency records are issued and maintained via the MWC Portal. 

This is a self managed delivery process, as detailed in the following document, or you can engage a welding supervisor to support you.

Theory

Online training is provided complimentary with every Weld-Hit purchase. See the Proficiency Delivery Guide for details

Each welder must complete the theory training and quiz before doing the practical assessment. 

Practical Assessment

Each welder must complete a practical assessment coupon for one or both of the following

• Inter-run and Surface Peening

• HFMI Weld Toe Peening

A supervisor/assessor must examine the completed coupons and record whether all elements have been satisfactorily completed. See this link for instructions for supervisors/assessors
