CMAE 1566 - Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) / Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)

Institution:

Saint Paul College

Subject:

Description:

Students will study and demonstrate safety practices with Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Flux Cord Arc Welding (FCAW). The GMAW and FCAW processes will be discussed in depth including the different type of modes of transfer available, shielding gases, and the different types of materials that can be welded. The differences in the electrode types of gas-shielded wires and self-shielded wires will be discussed, along with the types of shielding gases that are used. There will be discussions on the importance of how the welding process intersects with the arc welding symbols and codes. There will also be a review of procedures used in the visual inspections of welds. Time will be spent in the lab developing skills using the GMAW and FCAW processes. Welds will be made in the flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions. Written and fundamental tests will be completed in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS) codes and standards. 3C/1.5/1.5/0
