This introduction to process-based welding prepares participants to begin their exploration of MIG, TIG and/or Stick welding. The course reviews general lab and welding process safety in preparation for work on cutting processes and grinding. This course is a great introduction for community members interested in exploring process-based welding and professionals wanting hands-on experience in process-based welding.
What we are going to do hands on in shop:
Using oxy fuel torch to cut and welding various thicknesses of carbon steel Using grinder to clean and cut material
If time permits using the skills practiced above, make something to take home
