A study and operation of primarily flux cored arc welding. The student will learn about the different types of electrodes, fluxes and shielding gases used in these processes. Students will be able to weld in all positions, read some basic weld symbols, and have a basic understanding of written welding procedures.
Demonstrates welding on steel sheet metals and plates. Emphasis is placed on axial spray, pulse spray and short circuit mode of transfer. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to weld in all positions, read basic weld symbols, and have an understanding of written welding procedures.
Teaches students to interpret detailed weld symbols using the American Welding Society standard.
Focuses on problems and solutions encountered when welding similar and dissimilar metals. Students will learn to determine the capacity of a metal to be welded and perform satisfactorily under fabrication conditions imposed. Emphasis is on porosity in welds, hydrogen problems, heat treatments in welding, corrosion in stainless steel welds, hot and cold cracking and their solutions.
Provides an overview of the three basic welding processes, i.e. wire feed welding (GMAW, FCAW), stick welding (SMAW), and TIG welding (GTAW). The lab work will be equally divided among the welding processes.
Introduces the process commonly called the wire feed process for MIG welding. This course covers the solid wire, flux cored and metal cored methods of wire feed welding. Safety, power source setup and adjustment, gas selection and proper wire selection are taught. This course focuses on mild steel materials.
Focuses on the process commonly referred to as Heliarc or TIG welding. This course covers GTAW relating to stainless steel and aluminum. Students set up and operate the power source. Safety and the selection of the proper electrode and the proper filler metal are emphasized.
Provides instruction in welding and metal fabrication safety. Students will identify environmental work and personnel hazards common with the industry and proper personal protection methods. Students will also perform common tasks essential to utilization of the welding and metal fabrication lab.
