WEL 2050 - Entry Gas Metal Arc Welding
Clock Hours: 110
Delivery Mode
on-ground
Industry Certifications NCCER Welding Level Two Certificate
Course Description:
The goal of this course is the introduction of Gas Metal Arc Welding and Flux-core Arc Welding related theory and practices for the joining of carbon steel plate. Fillet and groove welds are performed in the Flat, Horizontal, Vertical and Overhead positions, using various wires for visual testing and bend testing.
Student Learning Outcomes:
Course Competencies:
1. Explain gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) safety.
2. Explain the characteristics of welding current and power sources.
3. Identify and explain the use of GMAW and FCAW equipment:
- Spray transfer
- Globular
- Short circuiting
- Pulse
4. Identify and explain the use of GMAW and FCAW shielding gases and filler metals.
5. Set up GMAW and FCAW equipment and identify tools for weld cleaning.
6. Perform GMAW-S (short-circuit) multiple-pass fillet welds on carbon steel plate coupons in multiple positions, using solid or composite wire and shielding gas.
7. Perform GMAW-S (short-circuit) multiple-pass V-groove welds on carbon steel plate coupons in multiple positions (with or without backing), using solid or composite wire and shielding gas.
8. Perform GMAW spray fillet and V-groove welds on carbon steel plate coupons in multiple positions (with or without backing), using solid or composite wire and shielding gas.
9. Perform FCAW multiple-pass fillet welds on carbon steel plate coupons in multiple positions, using flux-cored wire and, if required, shielding gas.
10. Perform FCAW multiple-pass V-groove welds on carbon steel plate coupons in multiple positions (with or without backing), using flux-cored wire and, if required, shielding gas.
