Informational of Qualification in Welding for SMAW Process: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract

Informational of qualification and known as reference providing the instruction, guidance and support to any organization or personnel for the purpose of qualification test in welding. Currently, the requirement of qualification in welding is available in both sectors of government technical institute (TVET) and industries. The most common welding process, versatile and normally conducted in both sectors is Shielded metal Arc Welding (SMAW). This is important that the execution of processes is to be addressed in detail and this information will be a pillar in making the qualification test successful. The aim of this meta-analysis is to determine, investigate and further encompass the best practices together with the suggestions which can be implemented during the qualification test session.
