| WE:140 Maintenance Welding 3 cr. CMS |
| Designed for the basic needs of the manufacturing student, including instruction and practice in gas cutting and welding, brazing, arc welding in various positions and basic MIG welding. Topics also covered include safe use of welding equipment and machinery, abrasive cut-off saws, shears, grinders and various tools common to the welding field. Designed to teach the student how to weld with different electrodes in all positions. Emphasis is on the E-6010 and E-7018 electrodes. The student safely sets up welding equipment, learns how to adjust it and how to operate it, and how to weld and braze in all four positions. The learning experience is also enhanced by cutting freehand with the cutting torch and operating semi-automatic cutting equipment. |
