Course Description

The Welding Technology program is made up of lecture and laboratory instruction in basic oxyacetylene and arc welding. Even though lecture is part of instruction, greater emphasis is placed on "hands-on" laboratory experiences in welding. Instruction includes basic safety principles and introduction to flat and vertical oxyacetylene welding, brazing of mild steel and cast iron. Basic arc welding in flat, horizontal, and vertical positions with mild steel and low hydrogen electrodes is studied and practiced in the laboratory. In addition, operation and application of arc welding, oxyacetylene welding, brazing and cutting will be experienced. Students must pass a welding metal break test for all laboratory projects. Students wishing to take a second year of Welding Technology must have the instructor's approval.
