About Introduction to Welding Processes IN Training ID# 10078

 

Introduction to Welding Processes provide basic study and application of commonly utilized welding processing. Prepares students through exposure to the Welding Lab with welding   equipment and techniques used in Industry.
A high School Diploma may not be enough. Employers want to hire people with experience and training for this high paying career.   Also, the American Welding Society estimates a job shortage of 330, 000 in the United States next year.  Today, you can make a difference by enrolling in training for a high demand welding job.

 

Our goal is to equip students with the tools to successfully become AWS qualified; in the following areas:
1.Demonstrate the need for workplace safety as covered by OSHA 10-Hour program.
2.Demonstrate the proper safety procedures in GMAW, GTAW, SMAW & FCAW weld-ing processes.
3.Describe constant voltage and wire feed welding processes.
4.Identify and weld five (5) basic types of joints.
5.Identify the gases used in gas metal arc welding.
6.Perform lap, and tee joint welds with GMAW using short circuiting transfer equip-ment on mild steel in the vertical up, vertical down and overhead position.
7.Perform lap, and tee joint welds with GMAW using spray transfer on thick mildsteel in the flat and horizontal position.
8.Perform lap, tee and groove welds with GMAW Pulse Spray Transfer.
9.Perform routine maintenance on gas metal arc welding equipment.
10. Perform square groove welds with GMAW using short circuiting transfer equipmenton mild steel in the vertical up, vertical down and overhead position.
11. Perform weld restarts that are smooth and even with GMAW processes.
12. Understand the significance of the suffix in GMAW electrode selection.
13. Weld with flux-core tubular wires.
14. Weld with stainless steel wire in all positions.

Why enroll?

Employers want to hire people with experience and training in this high paying career field. The American Welding Society estimates a job shortage of 330, 000 in the United States next year. Enroll in training to become eligible for one of these jobs.
