In this course students weld in the horizontal and vertical positions on stainless steel and aluminum. Pulsed current is applied to stainless steel weldments. Complete penetration groove welds in stainless steel are practiced and evaluated. Corequisite: Basic GTAW (TIG) 10442101

CATALOG #10442110

In this course, you develop skills of welding on steel sheet metals and plates using the GMAW process. Emphasis is placed on axial spray, pulse spray, and short circuit mode of transfer. Upon completion of this course, the student is able to weld in several positions, read basic weld symbols, and have an understanding of written welding procedures.

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 #10442130

Begins to build the knowledge and skills of the SMAW process commonly known as stick welding. Students are able to weld in several positions, read some basic weld symbols, and have a basic understanding of written welding procedures.

CATALOG #10442159

Investigates the effects of welding on the mechanical properties of metals. Learners explore hardness, strength, and weldability of various metals. Concepts are applied in various activities including heat treating, hardness testing, and tensile testing.
