This is a 3-day course and is a hybridized workshop that is a fast-paced introduction to a variety of welding processes commonly used in state and municipal garages today. This course will provide a demonstration of the equipment and fundamentals of each process in combination with a description and discussion of the process limitations and typical applications. Students will gain an understanding and appreciation of these processes through hands-on application of the techniques used in the following: thermal cutting (OFC and plasma); shielded metal arc welding (60ll and 7018) and gas metal arc welding (ER70S). The structure and duration of this experience is a basic introduction and therefore is not designed to build proficiency in any single welding process, but individuals will move along at their level of proficiency. *Students will be expected to wear leather shoes or boots, safety glasses, and a long-sleeved shirt.

* This workshop is a prerequisite to the Intermediate Welding Processes workshop that we will be having this summer.
