WLD 202 - MIG & TIG Processes
Credits: 3
2 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours
Prerequisites: WLD 201
Description
In this course, students explore the theory and application of gas metal arc welding (GMAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) processes. In addition to learning the color code system of electrodes and various applications of tungsten metals, students apply welding techniques in both vertical and horizontal positions.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Perform setup and shutdown procedures for GMAW equipment.
- Use GMAW equipment.
- Apply nozzle to work distance and gun travel angle according to metal thickness and wire size.
- Describe the theory and application of FCAW.
- Apply welding techniques using the FCAW process in the horizontal and vertical up positions.
- Define the color code system of tungsten electrode identification.
- Identify the proper tungsten to use for various metals.
- Describe the proper current/polarity to set on the power source when using the GTAW welding process.
- Apply various welding techniques when using GTAW welding process in flat and horizontal welding positions.
