WELD 111 - Welding Processes I

3 Credit: (1 lecture, 4 lab, 0 clinical) 5 Contact Hours: [WELD 101 ]

In Welding Processes I, the main emphasis is increasing a student’s understanding and welding skill level in the area of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (stick) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG). Students expand their understanding of the theory as well as the application of both processes. Lab weldments include, but are not limited to, ferrous and nonferrous metals, various thicknesses and some out of position welding. Understanding the processes and the consumables will be strongly emphasized. Students can expect to spend 60 to 90 minutes a week in the classroom in lecture/discussion.
