  • WELD 212B: Welding I Practice

    2.00 Credits
    Truckee Meadows Community College

    Prerequisite: None The oxyfuel section will develop the student's manual skills necessary to produce high quality flame cuts using manual operated flame cutting equipment and accessories. The student learns and practices the set up processes for the equipment for all phases of oxyfuel cutting. The shielded metal-arc welding (SMAW) section develops entry-level skills for welders. This course specifically develops basic SMAW skills as striking the arc, maintaining proper arc length, adjusting equipment and manipulating the electrode. WELD 212B is required concurrently with WELD 211, but may be taken as a separate course. This course may be repeated for up to six credits.
