WELD 274 - Introductory Welding/Flux Core Arc Welding
PREREQUISITES: INDT 114 - Introductory Welding , or WELD 100 - Welding Fundamentals .
PROGRAM: Industrial Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 1
LAB HOURS MIN: 4
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019
Covers Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW) equipment and products used to produce groove and fillet welds. Provides extensive practice to develop the skills to achieve satisfactory welds in all positions, using self -shielding and gas shielded electrode wires. Provides the opportunity to achieve AWS qualification or certification. Safety hazards and safe practices in FCAW are emphasized.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Demonstrate the proper safety in Flux Core Arc Welding. [e,f]
- Learn proper AWS Standard Welding Terms and Definition. [e,f]
- Setup and shut down an FCAW station properly and safely. [e,f]
- Select and determine the proper FCAW currents and welding electrodes for the job. [e,f]
- Identify the five basic welding joints. [e,f]
- Identify the five types of welds and the major parts of the weld. [e,f]
- Describe D.C. straight and reverse polarity. [c,e,f]
- Describe the capabilities of electric welding equipment. [c,e,f]
- Perform Lap and T on ½” plate 2F W and W/O gas. [e,f]
- Perform Lap and T on ½” plate 3F W and W/O gas. [e,f]
- Identify FCAW electrodes and AWS electrode classification. [e,f]
- Perform Lap and T on ½” plate 4F Wand W/O gas. [e,f]
- Perform 50 deg Bevel groove 2G and 4G on 3/8” plate w and w/o gas( melt thru not required). [e,f]
- Perform 60 deg V groove in 3G on 3/8” plate w and w/o gas (melt thru not required). [e,f]
- Describe proper correct technique for each welding position and electrode type. [e,f]
- Describe proper electrode manipulation for each type of electrode. [e,f]
(Note: All performance welds should meet AWS QC10 quality Standards)
