WLDG2035 Advanced Gas Metal Arc Welding

Students will learn how to produce single V-groove butt joint welds in the flat position with the spray transfer method on steel. They will also produce Fillet, Lap and T-joint welds in the horizontal and vertical positions on aluminum material. Students will also be able to utilize the pulse spray transfer method of GMAW welding to produce welds on Lap Joints, T-Joints and Butt Joints in flat, horizontal and vertical positions. Students will have the option to further develop their knowledge and skills to prepare for the Gas Metal Arc Welding Welder Qualification Test. This course will cover the characteristics of hazardous wastes and its safe handling, storage, and disposal.
