CATALOG #10442103

Students learn complete penetration stainless steel pipe welds in the 5G and 6G positions. Corequisite: Intermediate GTAW (TIG) 10442102

CATALOG #10442111

Builds skills with the GMAW process and performing welds on stainless steel and aluminum sheet metal and plate. Students are able to differentiate and select proper electrodes and shielding gases, and properly adjust parameters. Emphasizes axial spray, pulse spray, and short circuit mode of transfer depending on base metal. Students learn about and practice the FCAW process, including types of electrodes, fluxes, and shielding gases used in these processes. Students are able to weld in several positions, read some basic weld symbols, and have a basic understanding of written welding procedures. Prerequisite: Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) 10442110

CATALOG #10442163

Emphasizes measurement of weld defects and assessment of weld quality conformance to common welding codes. Students conduct etch tests, bend tests, and break tests on welds. Visual inspection, dye penetrant testing, and magnetic particle testing are practiced.
