WLD 102 - Advanced Welding
Credits: 3
2 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours
Prerequisites: WLD 101
Description
In this course, students learn how to properly differentiate techniques used for vertical and overhead welding. Out-of-position shielded metal arc welds are emphasized, including proper heats, electrode selections and alternating currents/direct currents (AC/DC). Students also learn how to safely use the various power sources in these types of welding applications.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Identify the various amperage ranges of mild steel electrodes as per their diameter.
- Set up the welding power source for direct current reverse polarity.
- Differentiate between direct current reverse polarity and direct current straight polarity.
- Differentiate various techniques that are used for vertical welding and overhead welding.
- Identify the electrodes used for in position welding and out of position welding.
- Identify the difference between a long arc and a short arc by slag evaluation.
- Name the different weave techniques used in vertical welding.
