Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis is the second course in the welding theory sequence for students to learn the knowledge of safety and safe welding principles required for the operation of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), and Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) equipment. Topics include: practices, procedures and techniques, electrode identification, gases for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, welding discontinuities and defects, welding power sources, material identification and classification, welder certifications and procedure qualifications. This knowledge is essential in developing a solid foundation regarding equipment use and its proper application in the welding trade. It is recommended that students get "hands-on" experience with TIG, MIG or FCAW welding by taking WELD-031, 033, or 043 concurrently.Usually HeldTue Thu 12:45pm–2:10pm, Wed 6:40pm–9:50pm
