WLDG2045 Advanced Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
Students will learn how to prepare and weld steel, stainless steel and aluminum tubing using the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process. Students will learn how to prepare tubing for single V-groove welds in the 5-G position. Students will also be able to produce welds on stainless steel in the 5-G and 6-G positions. Visual and destructive inspection tests on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum are included. Students will have the option to further develop their knowledge and skills to prepare for the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Welder Qualification Test. This course will cover the characteristics of hazardous wastes and its safe handling, storage, and disposal.
