Module 11

Module Eleven (29111-15)

Introduces the trainees to the method and procedures related to the SMAW groove welding process.

Trainees will learn safety procedures, welding joint preparation, specifications, identification of physical characteristics, mechanical properties, and cleaning techniques of SMAW groove welds.

Teaching Time: 50 hours (Twenty 2.5-Hour Sessions)

Session time may be adjusted to accommodate your class size, schedule, and teaching style.

Prerequisites Core Curriculum; Welding Level One, Module 29101-15.

Before You Begin As you prepare for each session, allow sufficient time to review the course objectives, content, visual aids (including the PowerPoint® presentation), and these lesson plans, and to gather the required equipment and materials.

Consider time required for demonstrations, laboratories, field trips, and testing.

Session Outline for 29111-15

SMAW – Groove Welds with Backing

The Lesson Plan for this module is divided into twenty 2.5-hour sessions. This time includes 10 minutes for administrative tasks and a 10-minute break per session.

Session One

Introduces trainees to SMAW groove welding, including techniques used to complete V-groove welds with backing and welding techniques used in different positions.

This session covers Lecture Sections 1.0.0 through 2.2.2.

1. Show the Session One PowerPoint® presentation.

2. Use the Kickoff Activity to get trainees engaged and give them an idea of what they will learn from this module. 3. Explain that safety must be maintained and appropriate protective clothing and equipment must be worn.

4. Describe the types of SMAW groove welds with backing and discuss related terminology.

5. Explain how to set up SMAW welding equipment and prepare welding coupons for groove welding.

6. Describe how SMAW groove welding in the various positions.

Sessions Two through Nineteen

Sessions Two through Nineteen are laboratory sessions for practice and completion of the performance tasks related to performing groove welds in the 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G positions.

1. Note that no PowerPoint® presentation is associated with this laboratory session.

2. Review safety procedures and make sure that all trainees are wearing the required PPE.

3. Demonstrate how to safely perform SMAW groove welds in the 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G positions using E7018 electrodes.

4. Trainees practice performing SMAW groove welds in the 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G positions.

5. Trainees complete the requirements of Performance Task 1.

Session Twenty

Is a review and testing session. Have trainees complete the Module Review Questions.

Alternatively, these may be assigned as homework at the end of Session Nineteen.

Go over the answers to the Module Review in class prior to the exam and answer any questions that the trainees may have.

1. Have trainees complete the written examination.

(Any outstanding performance testing must be completed during this session as well.)

2. Record the testing results on the Registration of Training Modules form, and submit the report to your Training Program Sponsor.
