    Description
    This course provides practical experience for structural welding skills used in commercial and industrial construction. Instruction will include a review of welding terminology, welding processes, welding equipment, and safety requirements. Key discussions will be used to identify electrode characteristics and metal inert gas/tungsten inert gas (MIG/TIG) welding applications. Practical experience will include safety procedures, proper equipment set-up and operation, electrode selection, fillet and groove weld formation in three positions, and recognition/remediation of welding flaws. This course will focus on developing the manipulative ability required for producing test plates acceptable for AWS D1.1 certification. Open Entry/Open Exit.
