Introduction to Gas Metal Arc Welding, often referred to as MIG. Course provides lecture and lab instruction in safety as well as utilizing the GMAW short circuit process. Lab provides direct hands-on applications in multiple positions in accordance with American Welding Society specifications, lecture provides operational theory with emphasis on safety. Student weld quality meeting or exceeding code requirements may be able to perform testing in this process. Skills acquired in GMAW are utilized with an introduction to spray and pulsed transfers. Students should expect an emphasis on safety, quality, and employment skills development. Lab and lecture provides operational theory and contrasts of the three GMAW processes, their utilization and application. Meeting or exceeding weld quality specifications as outlined by the American Welding Society are a requirement prior to testing.Introduction to Gas Metal Arc Welding, often referred to as MIG.
