Intro to Welding

Intro to Welding exposes learners to the basics of welding. The course covers manufacturing processes, properties of metals, and safe operating skills needed to demonstrate use of equipment in oxyfuel, shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), and gas metal arc welding (GMAW). Learners observe oxyfuel cuts, shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Welding symbols will be used to interpret detailed drawings used for fabrication. Learners will gain work-related knowledge and the skills necessary for careers in welding.
