WELD 240 Stainless Steel & Sanitary Welding
This course is designed to teach the student techniques necessary to weld stainless steel in all four positions (flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead). This course utilizes a lecture/lab format which includes classroom discussion and lab demonstrations. Students will develop knowledge and manipulative skills in the use of GTAW needed to pass an AWS plate certification and sanitary pipe certification. Topics covered will include equipment, operation, set up, and shut down procedures. Instruction includes theory of GTAW, machine setting, and welding polarities. All Position Plate or 5G sanitary pipe certification must be obtained for a "C" or both methods to receive an "A".
