WELD 125 - Shielded Metal Arc Welding II

Credits: 3
This course covers equipment and proper setup of said equipment; while going more in depth on electrodes and electrode selection used in shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). Instruction in this course follows the American Welding Society (AWS) standards of acceptability and teaches students to develop the hands on skills necessary to generate quality single and multiple pass welds, in all positions, utilizing increasing diameter electrodes of the low hydrogen and nonlow hydrogen filler metals frequently used in the field following the structural steel welding code. Students will weld joints to replicate buttbeam to beam, beam to column splicing, heavy plate and heavy equipment welding. Students learn the skills in the AWS D1.1 Structural Steel Welding Code with low hydrogen electrodes, unlimited plate thickness, and with or without backing in all positions.Prerequisite: WELD101, WELD105, WELD110, WELD115Lab Fee Required Lab Fee Required.
