WLD 298 - Industrial Metal Applications

 

Description
This is a Sheet Metal Apprentice course in welding techniques associated with ferrous and non-ferrous metals thicker than .0625”. Use of advanced techniques for both GMAW and SMAW welding processes will be covered. AWS welding procedures and certification testing procedures will be explained and practiced.

1. Interpret weld symbols on a fabrication drawing.
2. Execute welds in both GMAW and SMAW processes on materials thicker than .0625 in positions associated with field erection using short circuit transfer.
3. Choose appropriate SMAW electrodes given base metal and position to weld in.
4. Execute welds in GMAW the process on materials thicker than .0625 in positions associated with field erection using spray arc transfer.
5. Follow a procedure for an AWS welding certification test.
6. Interpret welding procedures, given a completed AWS welding procedure form.
7. Choose necessary amperage for a given wire diameter to achieve a spray arc in the GMAW process.
8. Execute welds in all positions using spray transfer in the GMAW process.
9. Explain procedure for executing a structural weld on ferrous metal .375 and thicker.
