Cost : 4980 € Euro
Introduction
This course is designed to provide a foundation and build your skills in the welding processes. Each student will be trained in the proper welding fundamentals, skills, and techniques necessary for producing code approved welds. Student welding is 90% of the time, classes are stand-up lecture and/or classroom theory. This course is about gaining the welding ability and skills needed for success. Processes covered are:
- SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) “Stick”
- FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding) “Dual shield/Inner shield”
- GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) “Mig”
- Oxy-Acetylene and Oxy-Fuel cutting
Course Objective of Comprehensive Welding
The course is designed for the student to have a good understanding, solid foundation, and the skills needed for a career in welding. Each student will be trained in the SMAW and FCAW welding processes for performing full penetration welds in all positions.
Processes Covered:
- SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) “Stick”
- FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding) “Dual shield/Inner shield”
- GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) “Mig”
- Oxy-Acetylene welding, cutting, heating, and brazing
Course Outlines of Comprehensive Welding
- Welding safety and instruction
- Oxy-Acetylene safety and proper use when cutting
- Arc and wire feed welding equipment set-up
- Wire feed gas selection – pros and cons
- Electrode designation and storage
- Fillet welds – how to properly weld and measure them
- Identification of welding symbols
- How to read basic blueprints
- How to read and use a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS)
- Weld and fit-up of groove welds
- Perform air carbon arc gouging
- How to troubleshoot welding equipment
- Complete joint penetration welds, with and without backing
- Grinding safety
Trainies will be taught the joint designs used in structural fabrication. Each welder will be given multiple projects from groove welds with backing and without backing. Welders will be taught basic fit-up, pre-heat, and basic joint tolerances and how to properly weld these joints. The final project will be all-position welding on a plate, with the opportunity to test for two AWS certifications in either SMAW or FCAW (Typically in the 3G or4G positions)
