    Description
    This course continues the development of students' theory and practice of their manual and semiautomatic welding skills, joining ferrous and non-ferrous metals for manufacturing technology. Welding processes include Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), spray transfer, aluminum Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Dual-Shield Flux Core Arc welding (FCAW-G). The course is an in-depth study into advanced manufacturing processes, work procedure specifications, occupational safety and calculations of material cost and sizes. Additional topics include fractional, decimal, and metric conversions.
