-
6.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: WLD 106) Introduces the major theory, safety practices, and techniques required for shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) in the overhead position. Qualification tests, overhead position, are used in the evaluation of student progress toward making industrial standard welds. Topics include: SMAW safety and health practices, production of welds of uniform width and height, manipulation of electrodes to produce specification welds, overhead joints, and applications of low hydrogen, mild steel, and other common electrodes in overhead position welding.
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasizes welding symbols and definitions through which the engineer or designer communicates with the welder. Welding symbols are considered an integral part of blueprint reading for the welder. Topics include: weld symbols and abbreviations, basic joints for weldment fabrications, fillet welds, groove welds, back or backing and melt-thru welds, plug and slot welds, surfacing welds, flash welds and upset welds, and flange, spot, projection, and seam welds.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: WLD 100) Provides knowledge of theory, safety practices, equipment, and techniques required for successful gas metal arc welding. Qualification tests, all positions, are used in the evaluation of student progress toward making industrial standard welds. Topics include: GMAW safety and health practices, GMAW theory, machines, and set-up, wire specifications, joint design, shielding gases, and production of GMAW beads, bead patterns, and joints in all positions.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: WLD 100) Provides knowledge of theory, safety practices, inert gas, equipment, and techniques required for successful gas tungsten arc welding. Qualification tests, all positions, are used in the evaluating of student progress toward making industrial standard welds. Topics include: safety and health practices, metals weldable using GTAW, shielding gases, metal cleaning procedures, GTAW machines and equipment setup, selection of filler rods, GTAW weld positions, and production of GTAW beads, bead patterns, and joints in all positions.
-
4.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: WLD 107) Introduces industrial qualification methods, procedures, and requirements. Students are prepared to meet the qualification criteria of selected national welding codes and standards. Topics include: qualification test methods and procedures, codes and standards, fillet and groove weld test specimens, and national industrial student preparation for qualification and job entry.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides instruction in the fundamental use of the electric arc welder and the oxyacetylene cutting outfit. Emphasis is placed on safe setup and use of equipment. Topics include: arc welding, flame cutting, safety practices, oxyfuel welding, and brazing.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides knowledge of theory, safety practices, inert gas, equipment, and techniques required for successful advanced gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Qualification tests, all positions, are used in the evaluation of student progress toward making advanced level industrial standard welds. Topics include: GTAW safety and health practices; shielding gases; metal cleaning procedures; GTAW machines and equipment set up; selection of filler rods; GTAW weld positions; and advanced production of GTAW beads, bead patterns, and joints.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides the opportunity to apply skills to pipe welding operations. Topics include: pipe welding safety and health practices, pipe welding nomenclature, pipe layout and preparation, pipe joint assembly, horizontal welds on pipe (2G), vertical welds on pipe (5G), and welds on 45 degree angle pipe (6G). A 3.0 GPA or higher is required for passing.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides knowledge of theory, safety practices, equipment, and techniques required for successful flux cored arc welding (FCAW). Qualification tests, all positions, are used in the evaluation of student progress toward making industrial standards welds. Topics include: FCAW safety and health practices, FCAW theory, machine set up and operation, shielded gas selection, and FCAW joints in all positions.
-
3.00 - 16.00 Credits
Provides opportunity to apply skills to pipe welding operations. Topics include: fixed position welds on horizontal pipe, and fixed position welds on vertical and 45 pipe.
