PILE 134 - Advanced Welding

3 Credits
This course builds from basic welding skills already mastered. The material included covers welding hazards, PPE, and safety, welding symbols, welding processes, and assembly procedures. Electrodes, fluxes, shielding gases and their uses are also discussed. Various welding certifications are required in the field, so this Manual is designed to resemble actual field welding tests. Discussions on various forms used to indicate welding specifications, procedures and standards are included. Cutting with oxyfuel, plasma arc and air arc gouging are also covered.
