Catalog description

This course is a continuation of WELD-325 Heavy Plate Processes. There is an emphasis on advanced welding techniques using 1/16th and 3/32nd electrodes with FCAW. Students will complete full penetration welds utilizing carbon arc gouging and finish grinding techniques. The training will mimic practical situations one would encounter working in the heavy plate industry today. Employment is not guaranteed to anyone upon completion. You must prove your welding skills and core abilities such as showing up every day and on time. Most employers engage in strict drug testing that can go back as far as six months.
