Learn and practice all aspects of Stick welding in a hands-on environment using professional equipment. Stick welding is typically used for its portability and mostly used on steel in the field. The focus is using 6010 and 7018 in all positions. 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 Stick Welding can be taken as many times as the participant finds helpful.
