FAB3050 Arc Welding 3

Advanced · 1 credit · TMT - Trades, Manufacturing and Transportation

Description
Students learn the role of codes and standards in the welding trade, as well as test welds and develop vertical position welding skills.
Prerequisite
FAB2060: Arc Welding 2
Parameters
Access to a welding facility, complete with Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) equipment and supplies, and to instruction from an individual with welding trade qualifications.
