WELD 1111 - Shield Metal Arc Welding I
3 Credits
This course develops the welding skills necessary for the Shield Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process on carbon steel plate in flat and horizontal positions. IN addition, students develop skills in manual and mechanized Oxygen Fuel Cutting (OFC).
Learning Outcomes
Perform manual PAC cutting on 1/4” to 1/2” metal plate including piercing hole cuts Perform angle grinder and belt sander setup and operation Demonstrate and follow all safety practices. Perform string bead surfacing, 2F single pass, 2G single pass, and 2G multi pass welds in the horizontal position on carbon steel using E7018 and E6010 electrodes. Demonstrate angle grinder and belt sander setup and operation. Determine proper settings on the welding machine for SMAW welds. Perform SMAW equipment setup and basic operation for carbon steel welds. Visually inspect welds and cuts to determine if standards are met. Perform stringer bead surfacing, lF single pass, lG single pass, and lG multi pass welds on the flat position on carbon steel using E7018 and E6010 electrodes. Determine proper travel, speed, and work angles for SMAW welding for carbon steel welds.
