Learn and practice all aspects of TIG welding in a hands-on environment using professional equipment. TIG welding is typically used for precise and clean welds. Commonly used on carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. This course is a great introduction for community members interested in exploring process-based welding and professionals that want hands-on experience in process-based welding. Participants must complete the Introduction to Process-Based Welding course before registering for this course. Introduction to TIG Welding can be taken as many times as the participant finds helpful. In the classroom, we will cover a GTAW machine overview/review.
What we will do hands-on in the shop:
- Machine setup and breakdown of welder
- Changing gas
- GTAW fillet welds- cold rolled carbon steel
- Flat
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Overhead
- GTAW groove welds- cold rolled carbon steel
- Flat
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Overhead
Note: Materials are included in the price of this course; however, participants are required to bring their own gear (including 3/32 tungsten). Here is the list of required equipment that students must bring with them to the TIG Welding class:
- Everything that they used in the Introduction to Process-Based Welding class
- Welpers or wire cutters
- Welding helmet
- TIG style gloves
- 3/32 2% Ceriated Tungsten (grey)
