WEL 366 - Shielded Metal Arc Welding

Credit(s) 4.00
Lecture Hours: 1.00
Lab Hours: 6.00
This course focuses on safety, amperage settings, polarity, and the proper selection of electrodes for the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process, commonly known as Stick welding. Students perform American Welding Society complaint welds on carbon steel, in vertical up and overhead configurations, using visual and destructive methods for determining weld quality.

SLOs:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate safe practices in the shielded metal arc welding process.
  • Produce entry-level welding skills in the shielded metal arc welding process on mild steel in multiple positions demonstrating different techniques.
  • Produce entry-level welding skills in the shielded metal arc welding process on different gauged material.
