WELD 1120 - Gas Metal Arc Welding I
2 Credits
This course develops the welding skills necessary for the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process on carbon steel plate in flat and horizontal positions to be performed in short circuiting and spray arc transfer.
Learning Outcomes
Demonstrate proper electrode control and manipulation for carbon steel welds. Perform iron worker and band saw setup and operation. Demonstrate proper safety practices. Determine proper travel, speed, and work angles for GMAW welding for carbon steel welds. Perform stringer bead surfacing, 1F single pass, 1G single pass, and 1G multi pass welds in the flat position on carbon steel in short circuiting and spray arc transfer modes. Perform GMAW equipment setup and basic operation including gas flow settings for carbon steel welds. Perform stringer bead surfacing, 2F single pass, 2G single pass, and 2G multi pass welds in the horizontal position on carbon steel in short circuiting and spray arc transfer modes. Determine proper settings for welding machine. Visually inspect welds and cuts to determine if standards are met.
