WELD 158 GTAW
This course serves as an introductory and intermediate course to GTAW. Students will learn the theory of and the techniques needed to properly set up and use GTAW welding equipment safely. Students will weld both fusion welds and with filler rod on common joints found in the welding industry, in all positions on carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Students will develop the skills needed to take the American Welding Society SENSE Certification Tests for GTAW welders. Principles of metallurgy associated with the GTA welding processes will be taught.
