WLD 100SMAW Fundamentals and Safety

4 Quarter Credits t Pre-requisites: WLD005 Course Description: Students will learn the proper safety pro- cedures and techniques used in the Shielded Metal Arc-Weld- ing process. An emphasis will be placed on “safe” setup and operation of arc-welding equipment. Students will learn proper apparel for Shielded Metal Arc-Welding, fundamentals of AC and DC welding current, various power sources, electrode coating and identification, destructive and non-destructive testing proce- dures, and proper arc striking techniques. Additional blue-print reading skills will be integrated and emphasized along with con- tinued attention to weld symbols. Safety standards are done in compliance with ANSI Z49.1 Safety in Welding, Cutting and Allied Processes.
