cwi exam
(OP)
Am preparing for the CWI exam. Have signed up for the week-long clinic, but am also studying in my (very little) spare time. Is that a good idea? Can I look at this stuff too much? Should I just take what I learn in the seminar and put it with my field experience? Anyone have any ideas?

Don't bring work with you the week of the course. It requires your attention.

Hints and tips:
1. Make sure that you are familiar with the relevant welding Code for the test. You don't need to memorise the code, but make sure that you know where the infornation can be found. You won't have time to learn the code during the prep course.
2. Become familiar with your (non-programmable) calculator. Many quys bring new calculators to the test w/o knowing how to use them. A basic scientific calculator will suffice. A back-up calculator is a good idea as well.
3. Know your basic math and welding symbols.
4. Spend a reasonable time each evening during the course looking over the material. Ask your instructor to clarify as necessary. In my prep class, a few of the guys spent more time at the pub than studying..and it showed.
5. Get a good night sleep the night before the test...you either know the information or you don't by this point.

Alternately, I could send you my library of metallurgy books, lol....
RE: cwi exam
Basic stuff, but not well understood be many people involved in welding.
ASM has several good books available on the subject. Metallurgy for the Nonmetallurgist is a good book to read. There is a good book that might be found on Amazon that is out of print written by Doty and Stout. I would check my titles and spelling of the author's names if I could find them in this mess I call an office. For that I apologize, but I think there are a number of good sources of information available from AWS and ASM to satisfy your needs for additional information on the subject of metallurgy.
