International Welding Specialist
(OP)
Hi,
I recently sat 6 exams for my International Weld Specialist (IIW) certification and failed 1 module which was the metallurgy module. I was semi confident I had answered enough to get the pass rate marks but unfortunately was not. The teacher I had didn't have much knowledge on the international standard as he predominantly only taught AS1796 Ticket 10 welding supervisor.
Can anyone put me on the right track to some good references, websites or books to help study for a resit on the Metallurgy in welding module?
Cheers Jackson

Good reference. They also have seminars on the subject but they are expensive
RE: International Welding Specialist
The book itself isn't bad (Im in NL), but it lacks coherence on some aspects to understand how things interact, therefore helping to see the bigger picture.

XL83NL, I am studying in Australia, we never received text books or any sorts on the subjects only code books for the relevant codes we also did exams for.

Well given that you have passed 5 out 6 exams without a textbook, I imagine you can get the metallurgical exam if you have the exam book to prepare for.
I do have several copies (both Dutch, German, English), but they're all copyright protected a copy, so I can thelp you with that.
Would you be able to contact one of the wleding institutes and ask them if you could purchase a copy?

Weld Australia provides notes to their student covering the slides used to deliver the training course. I don't know what documentation (hidden name) provided for the course. Speak with him to see if he has information he can give you.
Is there a source I can purchase the copy you have off? Or would it only be available to students enrolled in the course?

As above do you know a source I could potentially purchase a copy of the metallurgy textbook you were referring to?

As I'm also doing my part of the IIW courses, I can say that all countries are audited and should offer the same level of "service" to their clients (= the students).
Normally, each teacher has to meet the education goals of each module, by both his verbal course and by means of documentation.
This is in most cases at least a powerpoint presentation, however most of them write a separate course document in addition to the presentation or the teacher hands out copies of relevant texts.
The basic (but complete) course handbook however you will find in the GSI-SLV course documents for each training (here: IWS). These are the minimum that you should have received in the beginning of this course. In Europe (but this should be the same everywhere) these are the famous 4 binders for the 4 chapters of the IWS course (welding processes, metallurgy, design, and Quality/NDT/...)
