WELD 131 - Welding Processes III

3 Credit: (1 lecture, 4 lab, 0 clinical) 5 Contact Hours: [WELD 111 ]

Welding Processes III is our advanced Shielded Metal Arc Welding/Gas Tungsten Arc Welding course. It is expected that students signing up for this course have a solid understanding in the process theory and basic application of the SMAW and GTAW processes. Metallurgy, filler metals, gases, square wave and pulse technology as well as other process/career pertinent information will be discussed. Students can expect to weld on various thicknesses of plain carbon steels, tool steels and various nonferrous metals in the flat, vertical, horizontal and overhead positions. Students should expect to spend 60 to 90 minutes per week in the classroom.
