MFGT 61 — Intermediate Welding
This course is a continuation of welding techniques learned in MFGT 11 or MFGT 60. Emphasis will focus on shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), fluxcored arc welding (FCAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW/TIG). Welding techniques will be taught in horizontal, vertical and overhead positions on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. There will also be further hands-on use of oxyfuel cutting (OFC), plasma cutting and carbon air arc gouging. Tools and lab supplies will be provided; however, students will be responsible for supplying all safety gear and appropriate shop attire.
