Besides your lack of training in mechanical design and metallurgy, are you a "class A" welder?   Have you ever "burned a rod"?  Are you knowledgeable with regards to welding machines and how / where they are employed?

 

If not, then I wouldn't think of assigning you to inspect a weld and much less to approve it.

 

I state the above with some bias because I worked summers through college years as a boilermaker in a shipyard, welding a lot of plate metal.  I learned to weld in the shipyard and worked besides a lot of expert electric arc welders.  Welding is an acquired skill that even some mechanical engineers are ignorant of.  It is a skill that demands a lot of practice and experience in its applications as well as in its inspections.

I have never welded before.  I didn't have any basics of welding before I joined the company even I didn't know the meaning of welding!  I've been working at company since April!  Most of the time I am idle and the give me simple things.

 

So I consider to request them transferring me to another department that are more suitable for me !

In my opinion you are doing the best thing for you - and for your employer.

 

I don't consider it fair to you personally and to your future career as a chemical engineer to expect you to take on an important and critical responsibility such as weld inspections without having the experience, training, and preparations necessary for such a critical job.

 

Whoever is proposing that kind of assignment for you, without the proper training and experience is, in my opinion, asking the impossible of you and sending you on a path directly to failure and a bad mark on your future career.

 

Good Luck.
