50-435-724Welding and Brazing for Industrial Pipefitter Apprentices
Course Information
Description
Course compares common welding processes and develops apprentice skills related to welding, cutting, heating and using oxy-gas. Welding with arc, MIG and TIG will be explored. Common cutting and joining techniques will be compared. Industrial brazing techniques will be demonstrated. Joint preparation, using hand and power tools, and working with low-temp and high-temp solders are examined. Welding safety and PPE requirements will be reinforced.
