MILL 134 - Advanced Welding

3 Credits
This course is a continuation from week four, welding burning and cutting. It will start with an introduction to metallurgy studying the qualities of metals and there alloying elements, this will help welders understand how heat will effect different materials. The course will also discuss the properties of metals including hardness, ductility, brittleness, and toughness, as well as how these qualities affect the weld performance. The course will cover fabrication the process of creating a welded product from information found on drawings and procedures. Various arc welding processes and process specific safety concerns will be covered in detail, including but not limited to GTAW, GMAW, SWAW, CAC, FCAW-S and FCAW-G. Certifications are required in the field so this course is designed to resemble, as closely as possible, actual weld testing, procedures and drawings that will be encountered in the field.
