(Formerly NCVOC 061)
This is an intermediate level course focused on welding techniques used in high-volume production manufacturing environments. Students gain proficiency using pulsed-arc & non-pulsed-arc gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) processes on carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum materials. Correct use of welding fixtures, positioners, and other auxiliary equipment are covered. Emphasis is placed on using shop safety in addition to developing proper working procedures.
