WELD 1564 — - Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
Prerequisite: none Corequisite: none Students will study the safety concerns connected with the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process, along with an introduction into the types of power sources used for arc welding, process applications, electrode selections, overview of weld types, and other work-related safety conditions in the welding field. Time will be spent in the lab developing skills using the SMAW processes. Welds will be made in the flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions. Written and Fundamental tests will be done in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS) codes and standards. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): none WELD 1566 - Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) / Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) (4 credits) Prerequisite: none Corequisite: none Students will study the safety concerns connected with the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Flux Cored Arc Weld (FCAW). The GMAW process will be discussed in depth in relationship to the different type of modes of transfer available, shielding gases, and the different types of materials that can be welded. The FCAW process is similar in the type of equipment used for mode of transfer. The differences in the electrode types of gas-shielded wires and self-shielded wires will be discussed along with the types of shielding gases that are used. There will be discussions on the importance of Course Listings & Descriptions how the welding process intersects with the arc welding symbols and codes. Along with this, we will
