Practical Shop
Welding Program (600 hours)
The Practical shop welding
is shorter in length, and
more specific in scope,
than two of our other career-level Programs . The practical
shop welding is designed
for incoming students with
little or no welding experience
who want to learn the basic
techniques for depositing
sound welds on carbon steel
plate only (no pipe).
Program description:
The Practical shop welding
program consists of metal
cutting using the Oxyacetylene
torch and utilizing commonly
employed, basic welding
techniques in "Stick,"
"Mig," and "Flux
Cored" to deposit sound
welds on carbon steel plate.
Shop projects include various
joint designs in all positions
on plate. In Shielded Metal
Arc Welding ("Stick"),
several electrode types
and sizes are used on both
AC and DC welding machines.
Theory covers safety, proper
machine setting adjustments,
basic metal knowledge and
welding symbols.
