GMAW/FCAW (plate)

GMAW/ FCAW PLATE  Introduction to Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW) and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)

This course will cover introduction to GMAW and FCAW on plate for the structural, tank and vessel welder. You will learn the basics of Safety, Fundamentals, and Principles of the GMAW and FCAW welding processes to ISO standards. You will learn proper PPE, fit-up & preparation of material, wire selection, welding position, welding techniques and welding code criteria and regulations. Welding positions will include 1F-1G (Flat), 2F-2G (Horizontal), 3F-3G (Vertical) and 4F-4G (Overhead) both in Fillet and Groove. Student’s welding specimens will be mechanically evaluated for qualification to ASME Section 9 code standards and AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code acceptance criteria. Students will also be evaluated in lecture educational knowledge for fulfillment of Lab/class hours. Upon completion of this course students will receive a certificate of proficiency in introduction to GMAW and FCAW on plate. Students will also be able to produce excellent quality sound welds and be capable of performing general entry-level assembly and maintenance welding in fabrication shop and tank or vessel welding.
