WELD 1860 Welding Fabrication
This course provides training to develop the necessary skills for welding layout and fabrication. The student will be required to fabricate several small projects for grade using the techniques taught in this course. The student will be required to use a complete set of blueprints and shop drawings interpreting all the appropriate American Welding Society’s (AWS) standard welding symbols and special notations. Projects will be fabricated to close tolerances stated on the blueprint. Major Topics include: Safety and Health of the Welder/Fabricator in the welding industry, use of mathematical equations to layout branch patters for pipe and the proper use and care of small hand tools used the layout and fabrication of the structure steel.
