Welding Instructor
WLD104- Welding Electrical Circuits – Course offers basic electricity, functions and modes of transfer for all welding processes.WLD105- Blueprints- Course covers how to read shop drawings and blueprints.WLD111 - This class teaches basic understanding of the operation of oxy-acetylene welding and cutting and shield metal arc welding, Stick welding. Safety, technique and basic welding knowledge will be covered while welding SMAW in the Flat position. 1/8” Bare welding rod and 1/8” E6010 are used. WLD112 - This is an advanced SMAW course covering the Horizontal Position and the 5 welding joints. Students complete lecture and lab time. Students will be changing Oxy-Fuel tanks and using 4 ½” angle grinders (with flap discs, grinding discs, wire wheels, and cut-off wheels). Course also covers out-of-position cuts and bevel cuts from oxy-fuel cutting, Carbon-Arc Gouging and “whipping”, an electrode welding technique, is introduced here. 1/8” E6010 is used and 1/8” E7018 is introduced. W LD121 – Advanced SMAW introduces welding in the Vertical position. Students will demonstrate their abilities from past classes and advanced techniques are studied.WLD122 – Is the final SMAW class. Here, the student masters electrode manipulations for advanced vertical and welding in the over head position. This class is based on an accumulation of all SMAW class knowledge, including everything learned in WLD 111, 112, & 121. WLD123 – MIG, TIG, & Brazing 1- This class is a combination of three welding processes - (Brazing, Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG) & Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG); machine setup, filler metals, basic techniques, and welding stainless steel , aluminum, and autogenous welds –welds without filler metal.
