Welders & fabricators, marine/rail — 2 days — DIN EN 1011-2 / IIW 2016
Training — Needle Peening Training
Needle peening training for weld toe treatment: weld toe geometry, hammering parameters and visual acceptance to IIW 2016 recommendations. Two days of hands-on work on welded coupons.
Training objectives
Needle peening training for welders and fitters in the shipbuilding, rail and heavy steelwork sectors. 2-day programme compliant with DIN EN 1011-2 and IIW 2016 recommendations — fatigue improvement of weld beads through pneumatic needle impact.
Non-certifying training (process outside the classical NADCAP Surface Enhancement scope) but delivering a Kronos attestation recognised in steelwork and offshore construction.
Detailed curriculum
Multiple needle impact, fatigue improvement mechanisms for welded joints. DIN EN 1011-2, IIW 2016 post-weld treatment recommendations. Use cases in shipbuilding, rail, bridges.
Execution on welded specimens (S355 steel, HSLA steel). Pneumatic tool parameter setting, angle, speed. Visual inspections. Kronos needle peening attestation.
