What To Bring To Class

Many of the welding failures we encounter are related to eyesight deficiencies!

Bring to class:

• any prescription eyewear or magnifier lenses typically used in your welding helmet.
• safety glasses.
• work safety shoes.
• work gloves.
• welding gloves.
• auto-darkening welding helmet.
• protective welding jacket.
• properly fitted welding respirator (WI).
• N95 respirator (voluntary for GA).

Assessment Test Piece - Description and Required Welds

The JLR steel welding accreditation program requires making the following welds on 0.8 mm steel coupons:

• steel open butt welds in the flat, vertical, and overhead position.
• steel 5 mm plug welds on coupons in the vertical position.
• MIG braze open butt welds in the flat, vertical, and overhead position.
• MIG braze slot welds in the vertical position.

It is recommended to become proficient on all of the vertical welds before attempting welds in other positions.

The three-piece steel sill assembly used for the welding accreditation test requires the following welds:

• 38 resistance spot welds on the upper and the lower flanges
• 5 MIG braze slot welds on one-half of the center flange
• 9 MAG 5 mm steel plug welds on one-half of the center flange
• 1 MIG braze vertical open butt joint weld
• 1 MAG steel vertical open butt joint weld

Test Preparation

The training and test at I-CAR incorporates resistance spot-welding, MAG steel welding, and MIG brazing. The resistance welding has not been a failure point on the test, but practice of the MIG and MAG welding is a MUST. Listed below are the welding methods, and required materials for practicing prior to attending the AD3502802 - CD3500052 – Steel Repair – Structural program.

Aluminum and steel coupons can be purchased from:

• Custom Metal Shearing Inc.
• Dayton, OH 45404
• 937-233-6950 (office)
• Attention: Bob Colby

MIG Brazing - Required Consumables And Welder Settings

• Use CuSi-A or CuSi-3 - 1.0 mm electrode wire with 100% Argon gas.
• Use 0.8 mm mild steel for practice (same thickness as the assessment).
• Set the machine in the Synergic mode for all MIG braze joints. The JLR training and welding test have been updated to allow MIG brazing to be done in the Synergic rather than the Pulse-Synergic mode.
• 55–65 amps is the range to use as a starting point.

The Fronius 2700 setup includes the following:

• Install a dedicated graphite liner with a 1.0 mm contact tip in the torch.
• Install 1.0 mm drive rolls to accommodate the 1.0 mm electrode wire.

The U.S. Fronius 2700 machines do not have a 1.0 mm diameter electrode setting, which is the required electrode diameter for JLR. Use the 0.9 mm diameter setting. Set the electrode selection to CuSi-A. Use Conventional trigger.

---

MIG Braze Open Butt Joint – Technique

• The root gap between the panels is 1–2 mm on flat and vertical welds.
• Vertical welds are done travelling from the bottom upward.
• Angle the torch slightly toward the direction on travel (push).
• Weld open butt joints using a series of overlapping circular welds approximately 6 mm in diameter.
• Weld with 15–25 mm electrode stick-out, which will increase backside capillary flow.
• Each weld is started at the edge of the previous weld.
• Do not move the torch during the weld. Advance the torch 2–3 mm during the cooling of previous weld.
• The pause between each weld reduces the heat input into the panel.
• Develop a rhythm of welding (about 2–4 seconds) and pausing (about 2–4 seconds).

---

MIG Braze Open Butt Weld – Inspection

• All visible weld surfaces must be clean, bright and of a uniform profile.
• The face side weld seam should show uniform height and width over its entire length. Bead height is 1–3 mm.
• The backside bead must be a consistent width and without voids. Ideally the backside bead is the same width as the face side bead.
• The backside bead height is a minimum of 0.5 mm and 2 mm maximum.
• The heat mark must not exceed 30 mm.
• No areas of:
• Multiple welds
• Undercut
• Underfill
• Porosity
• Cracking
• Burn-through
• Weld skip
• Excessive weld spatter

---

MIG Braze Slot Weld – Technique

• The 20 mm length of the slots are positioned horizontally.
• Weld the slot welds using an overlapping circular travel pattern across the narrow opening of the slot.
• Each weld pass should extend slightly beyond the top and bottom edge of the slot hole.
• This method is used to increase the capillary flow of the puddle under the edges of the slot.

---

---

MAG Steel Welding – Required Consumables And Welder Settings

• Electrode wire is 0.8 mm ER70S-6.
• Shielding gas is 80% Argon-20% CO2.
• Welding machine is set to NON-PULSE synergic for steel weld joints or Standard mode.

Cancellation Policy
Classroom Training enrollments cancelled close to the class start date (late-notice cancellations), those unattended altogether (no-shows), or those who show up late (late arrivals) waste valuable resources that cannot be recovered.

In an effort to reinforce the value of Jaguar Land Rover Training & Development (JLR Training) classroom training seats, JLR Training will charge Body Shops for no-shows or for cancelling any enrollment within thirty (30) days of the class start date for the full price of the event. Late cancellations and no-shows due to extenuating circumstances, such as a personal emergency or weather travel delays, will be considered on a case by case basis. Proof of the circumstance is required (doctor’s note or flight cancellation notification).

Late arrivals are also subject to these terms. If a Technician is more than 2 hours late to an initial assessment training event, they are too late to catch up with the rest of class. If you show up more than 2 hours late, you will be sent home and will need to reschedule your training for another session. If a Technician is more than 1 day late to a reassessment training event, they are too late to catch up with the rest of class. If you show up more than 1 day late, you will be sent home and will need to reschedule your training for another session. If you are late within the designated timeframe, standard event fees apply. If you are late beyond the designated timeframe, you will also be charged the full price of the event due to taking up a seat from someone else. Similar to no-shows and late cancellations, late arrivals due to extenuating circumstances, such as a personal emergency or weather travel delays, will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Proof of the circumstance is required (doctor’s note or flight cancellation notification).

In the event of a no-show due to extenuating circumstances, such as a personal emergency or flight cancellations, JLRNA must be contacted by noon (local time) on the first day of class in order for any consideration to be applied. To cancel your booking or notify us of a late cancellation, please contact JLRNA at JLRCRN@jaguarlandrover.com. You will need to provide your name, booking reference, address and details of the booking.
