WELD 195 — Industrial Welding Fundamentals
introduces students to the basic welding processes commonly used in the mechanical maintenance areas where critical or certified welds are not required. The students learn the basic theory and application of the welding processes. The students become competent in flat position welding using the shielded metal arc welding and gas metal arc welding processes. Students also develop the basic ability to perform the following: oxy-acetylene welding and cutting; soldering and brazing; pipe repair welding; basic heat treat methods; periodic and preventative maintenance measures on welding equipment; and welding safety. is intended for students pursuing studies in specific Engineering Technology specialties. This course is applicable toward all certificates, AAS, ALS; areas of concentration include manufacturing technology/machining (credit hours 3.0, lecture hours 2.0, lab hours 6.0).
