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
