Welding and Metal Fabrication

  
  • WELD 123 - Oxygen Acetylene Welding III

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 1-1-1.5
    Emphasis is on open butt-plate welding. The student learns to cope with the problems of metal expansion and contraction, which can cause serious distortion in the weld.Prerequisite: WELD 122 .

  
  • WELD 124 - Oxygen Acetylene Welding IV

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 1-1-1.5
    Emphasis is on welding in the fixed position used in welding pipe with an oxygen-acetylene torch.Prerequisite: WELD 123 .

  
  • WELD 127 - Arc Welding V (Overhead)

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 1-1-1.5
    Includes techniques for working against gravity, how to assume an awkward stance and be comfortable, and how to form beads of uniform size and correct penetration.Prerequisite: WELD 117 .

  
  • WELD 128 - Arc Welding VI (Advanced Overhead)

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 1-1-1.5
    A continuation of overhead arc welding with emphasis on overhead welding of the joints and open butt joints.Prerequisite: WELD 127  or proficiency.

  
  • WELD 130 - Pipe Welding IV (45 Fixed Position)

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 1-1-1.5
    Emphasis on the 45-degree fixed position method of welding pipe. With the completion of this aspect of welding, the welder need only keep current with changes in welding and stay in practice.Prerequisite: WELD 128 .

  
  • WELD 131 - Welding (Heliarc) I (Mild Steel)

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 1-1-1.5
    A beginning course in tungsten-inert gas welding, which emphasizes fundamentals of the process, equipment and technique involved.Prerequisite: 120 clock hours of basic arc welding (or proficiency test) and 60 clock hours of oxyacetylene welding (or proficiency test).

  
  • WELD 132 - Welding (Heliarc) II (Aluminum)

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 1-1-1.5
    Basic research and development in the use of the tungsten-inert gas process of welding aluminum and its weldable alloys.Prerequisite: 120 clock hours of basic arc welding (or proficiency), 60 hours of oxyacetylene welding (or proficiency) and WELD 131 .

  
  • WELD 133 - Welding (Heliarc) III (Stainless Steel)

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 1-1-1.5
    Designed to develop excellent quality and appearance of TIG welds in stainless steel.Prerequisite: WELD 132 .

  
  • WELD 134 - Welding (Heliarc) IV (Individual Problems)

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 1-1-1.5
    Emphasis on perfecting basic skills learned in WELD 131 , WELD 132  and WELD 133 .Prerequisite: WELD 133 .

  
  • WELD 141 - Semi-Automatic Welding (MIG) (All Position WELD 141 Welding, Mild Steel and Aluminum)

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 1-1-1.5
    An all-position welding process designed for the welding of ferrous materials utilizing small-diameter consumable electrode wire continuously fed into an electric arc. A semi-automatic welding process using a consumable solid-wire and/or flux-cored electrode.

  
  • WELD 142 - Flux Cored Arc Welding

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 1-1-1.5
    This course is designed to provide instruction in the flux-cored welding process on carbon steels using small- and large- diameter electrodes in all positions on fillet and groove welds.Prerequisite: WELD 141  or consent of department.

  
  • WELD 218 - Pipefitting Layout & Design for Welders

    Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 2-2-3
    This course will cover the basic knowledge (math) and skills (tooling) to perform basic pipe fitting task(s) including: types of drawings, ISO, orthographic piping and instrumentation, standard piping symbols, butt and socket weld fittings, sketching, bill of material, welding symbols, dimensions, field measurements, check valves, type of valves, relief/safety valves, directional-flow markings, socket-weld fittings, and rod lengths for u-bolts. Student will be able discuss the various types of drawings, symbols, and standards used in pipe-fitting fabrication.Prerequisite: WELD 114  and WELD 121 .
