31442321 Arc Welding (SMAW) Vertical
Course Information
Description
This course is a continuation of the Basic Shielded Metal Arc Welding course. Students work to develop manipulative welding skills on all types of joints in the vertical up and down positions, using E7018 and E6010 shielded metal arc welding electrodes on mild steel. Students will also develop welding techniques used for fillet and groove weld competencies to AWS D1.1 structural steel welding code.
