Welding   

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)

Learn safety and the technical fundamentals of welding while applying those skills in this hands-on workshop! Workshop includes open shop time to work on your own project. All safety gear, welding equipment and materials are included in the course price. Ages 13+ are welcome. Also available as half-day (see Exploring Welding Half Day).

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.

In the classroom we will have an SMAW machine overview/review. 

What we will do hands-on in the shop:

• Machine setup and breakdown of welder
• 6010 fillet welds
• Flat
• Horizontal
• Vertical
• Overhead
• 7018 fillet welds

• Horizontal
• Vertical
• Overhead
• 6010/7018 groove welds(time permitting)

Note: Materials are included in the price of this course; however, participants are required to bring their own gear. Here is the list of required equipment that students must bring with them to the Stick Welding class: 

• Everything that they used in the Introduction to Process-Based welding
• Wire wheel for 4 ½” grinder
