WELD 1771 - Gas Metal Arc Welding / Flux Cored Arc Welding
Students will learn equipment, setup, electrode selection, and gas selection used in gas metal arc welding (GMAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW) and submerged arc welding (SAW) processes. Course training utilizes the American Welding Society (AWS) standards of acceptability to develop the manual skills necessary to produce good quality single and multiple pass welds in all positions using solid and flux cored electrode wires with and without shielding gases. Joints welded will simulate butt-beam to beam, beam to column splicing, heavy plate and heavy/mining equipment welding.
