Semi-Automatic Welding Applications

Catalog description

54 hours lecture and 108 hours lab per term. This course will cover, with in-depth study, the make-up of constant voltage power sources and semi-automatic wire feed systems. Various methods of metal transfer will be covered, such as spray, globular, short-circuiting, and pulsed spray. Applications will be applied to ferrous and non-ferrous metals of various thicknesses in all axes. Students will become occupationally proficient using Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) on limited thickness material in all axis on plate, Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) on intermediate and unlimited thicknesses in all axis on plate.
