Welding

Welding 1 Arc Welding

You’ll learn safety, equipment and skills for arc welding  with  different types of welding  rods.  Both  theory and hands-on instruction are emphasized.

Welding 2 Gas Metal Arc Welding

Prerequisite: Welding 1

Grades: 10-12

You’ll have hands-on training in gas metal arc welding known as MIG welding.

You’ll get training with flux core wire, copper-coated wire and different types of welding gases in different positions. MIG is a widely used welding process with metal fabricators.

Welding 3 Oxyacetylene Cutting

Prerequisite: Welding 2

Grades: 10-12

You’ll learn to make proper cuts of metal using the oxyacetylene cutting process. Safety will be emphasized. You’ll also learn to weld metals using this process.

Welding 4 Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

Prerequisite: Welding 3

Grades: 10-12

You’ll learn gas tungsten welding, known as TIG welding, which uses a non-

consumable electrode and a special electrode holder. You’ll learn how shielding gas protects the welding puddle and can be used to weld aluminum, stainless steel and other types of metal using the correct type of filler metals.
