Welding: Introduction to MIG

Catalog description

This course introduces the learner to additional welding symbols and drawings, all aspects of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), 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 configurations using gas-shielded (GMAW) and flux core (FCAW) methods and materials.
