WLD 298 - Industrial Metal Applications
Credits: 4
2 Lecture Hours 4 Lab Hours
Prerequisites: WLD 297
Co-requisites: WLD 296
Description
This course is designed for students in the Sheet Metal Apprentice program. Students learn welding techniques associated with ferrous and non-ferrous metals thicker than .0625”. Use of advanced techniques for both gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) processes are covered. American Welding Society (AWS) welding and certification testing procedures are explained and practiced.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Interpret weld symbols on a fabrication drawing.
- Execute welds in both the GMAW and SMAW processes on materials thicker than .0625 in positions associated with field erection using short circuit transfer.
- Choose appropriate SMAW electrodes given base metal and position to weld in.
- Execute welds in the GMAW process on materials thicker than .0625 in positions associated with field erection using spray arc transfer.
- Follow a procedure for an AWS welding certification test.
- Interpret welding procedures, given a completed AWS welding procedure form.
- Choose necessary amperage for a given wire diameter to achieve a spray arc in the GMAW process.
- Execute welds in all positions using spray transfer in the GMAW process.
- Explain procedure for executing a structural weld on ferrous metal .375 and thicker.
