WEL 2030 - Advanced Shielded Metal Arc Welding

Clock Hours: 100

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Course Description:
The goal of this course is the continuation of Shielded Metal Arc Welding related theory and practices for the joining of carbon steel plate and the addition of carbon steel pipe. Fillet and groove welds are performed in the Vertical and Overhead positions, using various electrodes, carbon steel pipe welds are performed in the 2G and 6G positions. Grading and testing is in conformance with AWS D1.1 criteria for visual testing, and AWS B2.1 Criteria for destructive testing using Guided Bend and Fillet Break Tests.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

Demonstrate how to perform single pass fillet welds on lap-joints and Tee-joints in the 3F and 4F positions
Demonstrate how to perform open-root, square groove butt joint welds in the 3G and 4G positions
Demonstrate how to prepare a beveled surface on plate steel coupons
Demonstrate how to properly set-up and tack weld a single Vee, butt-joint coupon with backing
Demonstrate how to perform a multi-pass weld on a single Vee, butt-joint coupon with backing, in the 3G and 4G positions
Demonstrate how to lay-out and saw welded coupon straps for guided bend tests
Demonstrate how to remove backing from coupon straps with oxy-fuel torch prior to guided bend testing
Demonstrate how to perform stringer bead welds on a roll-out wheel in the 1G position (rotated)
Demonstrate how to perform carbon steel pipe welds in the 2G and 6G positions (E6010 root, E7018 fill & cap)
