WLDG 1021 - Shielded Metal Arc Welding

Credits: 4
Hours/Week: Lecture 1 Lab 6
Course Description: This course covers shielded metal arc safety and procedures. Course activities involve the use of the shielded metal arc welding process to weld various joints in the flat and out-of- position weld fit-ups with 6010 and 7018 electrodes. Students must be able to perform physical tasks in order to complete course requirements.
