WLD106 — Welding Fundamentals 2 Hours
This course is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the basics of Metal Inert Gas MIG arc welding fundamentals also referred to as Gas Metal Arc Welding GMAW and stick welding also referred to as Shielded Metal Arc Welding SMAW including the following topics welding safety power sources and wire feeders machine set up adjustment and maintenance identification of welding defects and quality welds and welding techniques. Training to develop the manual skills necessary to make high quality MIG and SMAW welds is included with emphasis placed in the areas of various joint configurations single pass multiple pass fillet groove overlap welds in a flat position. Oxyacetylene cutting equipment setup and safety will also be emphasized. ELA Placement: No ELA Requirement Prerequisite: None Semester Hour(s): 2 hour(s) Lecture / Lab Hours: 1 lec, 2 lab/week WELDING: ROBOTIC WELDING Certificate Welding: Robotic Welding (H46) The SVCC welding program has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the local employers, specifically the manufacturers, which make up 30% of the employment in the SVCC college district. The robotic welding certificate has been designed for welding students to build a hands-on understanding of robotic arc welding. Students will cover safety jogging the robot, setting up welding equipment, robotic welding teach pendent, robotic welding parameters, motion types, programming examples, and saving and backing up robot programs and controller
