Combination Welder Course (Full Course) 360 Course hours/ 18 Week Course

Description

This course is a combination course of Plate SMAW, Pipe SMAW, and Pipe GTAW. It covers plate and pipe welding with the Shielded Metal Arc Welding process and pipe welding with the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding process. Both processes involve a manual arc welding process. SMAW process uses a consumable electrode while the GTAW process uses a non consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. A consumable electrode melts clown during welding due to arc heating and subsequently deposits on weld bead that finally becomes an integral part of the joint. Contrary to this, a non-consumable electrode does not melt down during welding and remains intact. Students will perform hands-on training with plate welding using the SMAW process for horizontal 2G, vertical 3G, and overhead 4G positions. In addition to this, students will perform hands-on training with pipe welding using the SMAW & the GTAW process for vertical 5G, horizontal 2G, and 45-degree 6G positions. Upon completion of the course, the student will receive a certificate of completion and seek employment as a welder. Plate and pipe welders may have more opportunities and can seek employment in commercial construction companies, towers, nuclear energy plants, refineries, pipe yards, or fabrication companies.
