In today’s high-spec fabrication environments, the Hot Wire TIG Welding process has emerged as a game-changer—offering enhanced deposition rates, improved weld quality, and better productivity. But with advanced processes comes the need for qualified welders who meet rigorous quality and safety standards. At AQC (Advanced Quality Centre), we provide comprehensive welder qualification and certification services for Hot Wire TIG Welding, ensuring welders are tested, certified, and prepared to deliver consistent results in critical applications.

What is Hot Wire TIG Welding?

Hot Wire TIG (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding with Hot Wire) is an advanced variation of the traditional TIG process where the filler wire is preheated electrically before entering the weld pool. This reduces arc time and improves deposition efficiency—making it ideal for:

• Heavy wall components
• Cladding applications
• Nickel alloys and stainless steels
• Critical repair work in aerospace, nuclear, and oil & gas sectors

Why Welder Qualification is Essential

Welds performed using Hot Wire TIG must meet stringent mechanical and metallurgical criteria due to the demanding environments they serve. Qualification ensures that:

• Welders can perform consistently under code-specific procedures
• Weld quality meets ASME Section IX, ISO 9606, or AWS D1.6 standards
• Each welder’s skill is documented and traceable
• Project risks are minimized and compliance is maintained

AQC’s Welder Qualification and certification Services

We provide full-scope qualification testing that includes:

1. WPS Review & Procedure Qualification (PQR)

• We help establish or validate Welding Procedure Specifications for Hot Wire TIG based on your material, joint type, and position.

2. Welder Testing Under Supervision

• Welders are tested under controlled conditions, using your WPS or one prepared by AQC.
• Test coupons are welded as per code requirements and sent for NDT and mechanical testing.

3. NDT & Mechanical Testing

• Radiography, Ultrasonic, Bend, Tensile, and Macro tests performed as required.
• All testing adheres to relevant international standards.

4. Certification & Documentation

• Issuance of Welder Performance Qualification Record (WPQR) and traceable documentation for audit and project records.
