Introduction to Welding II 

Prerequisite:  Introduction to Welding I, prior experience or completion of Machine Tool Tech (EN-2112).

 A two-day continuation of techniques acquired from the Welding I course.  Students will practice all position welding of mild steel plate using the Low Hydrogen Electrode E7018.  The gas metal arc welding process (MIG) will also be covered with gas and wire selection explained as well as proper machine set up.  In addition, class will include an
introduction to the gas tungsten arc welding process (TIG). Participants will have the opportunity to apply the GTAW process to the joining of light aluminum plate.  All welding equipment will be supplied.  Students should wear cotton clothing, work boots, and bring a

Structural All-Position Plate Certification Lab

This course is designed specifically for American Welding Society Structural Welding Certification preparation, for those individuals seeking job opportunities requiring proof of skills upon interview.  Welding skills in “out of position” shielded metal arc using the E7018 Low Hydrogen Welding Electrode will be sharpened.  Certification spec. coupons will be welded together in both vertical and overhead weld positions.  After completion students will cut samples from their plates and perform a “bend test”.  Plates that fall short of this criteria will fail in the form of a visual fracture within the specimen.  Individuals will have many opportunities to improve their skills.  Those exhibiting the ability to weld to AWS D1.1 specifications will receive stamped verification by our Certified Welding Inspector as to their competence.  All welding equipment will be supplied.  Students should wear cotton clothing, work boots, and bring a welding, or baseball cap.  Four days, two weekends.  
(Four days, two weekends) Limited to 8 participants.

  • Cost: $595

 

TIG Welding Course

The course objectives are to learn to TIG weld aluminum plates in various positions, learn about shielding gas, learn how to choose which tungsten electrodes, and learn how to properly grind a tungsten electrodes. Students must come to class wearing a boiler suit, steel-toed work boots, and safety glasses.
