IAM 3050 - Welding Principles

Clock Hours: 72

Course Description:
Provides instruction in the different types of welding, its uses in industrial maintenance, and the proper safety procedures to properly implement into a manufacturing environment.

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

Fabrication and Layout

Perform a material take off in conformance to drawings and specifications.
Lays out components, structural, and others, and their locations to dimensions and tolerances indicated on drawings.
Uses the scale of a drawing to determine locations not explicitly dimensioned
Uses the scale of a drawing to determine dimensions not explicitly shown
Distinguishes between object lines, dimension and extension lines, center lines, section lines, and other lines commonly found in construction and fabrication drawings.
Interprets welding symbols to determine type, geometry, process, extent, and required testing of welds.
Pronounces and uses welding terms in conversation.
Uses welding terms in written work.

SMAW, GMAW, and GTAW

Cuts or removes metal as required by job assignment using the oxy-fuel and plasma arc cutting process on plain carbon steel
Visually examines the resulting surface for conditions meeting the assignment’s specifications

Fillet and Groove Welds Using SMAW, GMAW, and GTAW Processes

In all feasible positions, makes a single pass weld on plain carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum using the correct process.
