Fundamentals of MIG Welding

Catalog description

This course is restricted to students presently studying under the direction and oversight of an approved apprenticeship program, working in partnership with Columbus State Community College. This course introduces the learner to additional welding symbols and drawings, all aspects of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) (known as MIG Welding), including equipment set-up, gas selection, usage of both solid core and flux core welding wire, using both fillet and multiple-pass welds. Through this course the learner will be able to assess what other welding skills and knowledge they desire and need for the various trades in the work force. The learner will engage in lab projects joining metals in lap, tee, butt, and V-groove fit up using shielded and flux core MIG methods and materials.
