Study Notes
SCWI Qualification
- Candidates for SCWI must have 6 out of the last 8 years as a CWI to qualify for the test.
CWI Experience Requirements
- A prospective CWI with a high school diploma needs a minimum of 5 years of experience.
Visual Acuity Test
- The visual acuity test is valid for 1 year without the need for retesting or resubmission.
CWI Certification Duration
- CWI certification remains valid for 3 years without the need for renewal.
Certification Renewal Process
- If a CWI fails to submit a renewal application within 60 days post-expiration, recertification is denied.
Training Hours for Recertification
- CWI recertification after 9 years without retesting requires 80 training hours, with 20 hours completed in the last 3 years.

Employer Access to Examination Scores
- Examination scores are released to a designated person only after a notarized release from the CWI.
Re-examination Definition
- Any test taken within one year of the original test date is considered a re-examination.
SMAW Electrode Functions
- Flux coating of a SMAW electrode functions for insulating, alloying, de-oxidizing, and shielding.
SMAW Electrode Designation
- The next to last digit in SMAW electrode designations indicates the welding position.
Incorrect SMAW Electrode Statement
- A designation of E7024 does not indicate it is a low hydrogen type.
Essential SMAW System Components
- A wire feeder is not an essential part of a typical SMAW system.
Welding Problem Identification
- Arc blow is caused by a distorted magnetic field that deflects the welding arc.
GMAW Metal Transfer Types
- Droplet is not considered a type of metal transfer for GMAW.
Heat and Metal Transfer in GMAW
- Short circuiting provides the lowest amount of heat to the workpiece, leading to a risk of incomplete fusion.
GMAW Shielding Gases
- Shielding gases for GMAW include carbon dioxide and argon, among others.
