horizontal position, are used in evaluating student progress toward making
industrial standard welds. Topics
include: SMAW health and safety
practices, production of welds and uniform width and height, manipulation of
electrodes to produce specification welds, horizontal joints, uses of low hydrogen,
mild steel, and other common electrodes in position welding.
WLD 106 - Shielded
Metal Arc Welding III (3-7-6)
(Prerequisite: WLD 105)
Introduces the major theory, techniques, and safety
procedures required for shielded metal arc welding in the vertical
position. Qualification tests, vertical
position, are used in the evaluation of student progress toward making
industrial standard welds, vertical joints, mild steel, applications of low
hydrogen, and other common electrodes in vertical position welding.
WLD 107 - Shielded
Metal Arc Welding IV (3-7-6)
(Prerequisite: WLD 106)
Introduces the major theory, techniques, and safety
procedures required for shielded metal arc welding in the overhead
position. Qualification tests, overhead
position, are used in evaluating student progress toward making industrial
standard welds. Topics include: production of welds of uniform width and
height, SMAW health and safety practices, manipulation of electrodes to produce
specification welds, overhead joints, applications of low hydrogen, mild steel,
and other common electrodes in overhead position welding.
WLD - 108
Blueprint Reading II ( 1-4-3)
(Prerequisite:
WLD 103)
Emphasizes
welding symbols and definitions through which the engineer or designer
communicates with the welder. Welding
symbols are considered an integral part of blueprint reading for the welder. Topics include: welding symbols and abbreviations; basic
joints for weldment fabrications; industrially used welds; surfacing back or
backing, and melt-thru welds; and structural shapes and joint design.
WLD 109 - Gas
Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG)
(3-7-6)
(Prerequisite: WLD 100)
Introduces the major theory, techniques, and safety
practices required for gas metal arc welding.
Qualification tests, all positions, are used in the evaluation of
student progress toward making industrial standard welds. Topics include: GMAW safety/health practices, GMAW theory,
machines, set-up, wire specifications, joint design, shielding gas, and
production of GMAW beads, bead patterns, and joints in all positions.
WLD 110 - Gas
Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG) (2-5-4)
(Prerequisite: WLD 100)
Provides knowledge of theory, safety practices, inert
gas, equipment, and techniques required for successful gas tungsten arc
welding. Qualification tests, all
positions, are used in the safety and health practices, shielding gases, metal
cleaning procedures, selection of filler rods, GTAW machines and equipment
set-up, GTAW weld positions, and production of GTAW beads, bead patterns, and
joints in all positions.
WLD 112 - Preparation
for Industrial Qualifications
(2-6-4)
(Prerequisite: WLD 101, WLD 105, WLD
106, WLD 107, WLD 108, WLD 109, WLD 110)
Introduces
industrial qualification methods, procedures, and requirements. Students are
prepared to meet the qualification criteria of selected national welding codes
and standards. Topics include: test methods and procedures, national industrial
codes and standards, fillet and groove weld specimens, and preparation for
qualifications and job entry.
WLD 152 – Pipe Welding
(Prerequisite: WLD 107, WLD
108)
Provides the opportunity to apply
skills to pipe welding operations. Topics include: pipe welding safety and
health practices, pipe welding nomenclature, pipe layout and preparation, pipe
joint assembly, horizontal welds on pipe (2G), vertical welds on pipe (5G), and
welds on 45 degree angle pipe (6G).
