WELD - 1200 Basic Shielded Metal Arc Welding

This course provides a thorough technical understanding of arc welding, welding safety, arc welding power sources, and electrode classifications and selection. It also provides training to develop the skills necessary to make quality shielded metal arc welds in all positions on mild steel from 3/16-inch to ½-inch plate, single and multiple pass, using mild steel, low hydrogen, and iron powder electrodes, with DC welding current. Welder qualification testing is on V-Groove, limited thickness with backing, in all positions.
