Course Outline
This course will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of general safety rules and the operation and function of welding machines. Students will learn about welding symbols and the various types of electrodes available, as well as the composition of metals and how to select the appropriate electrodes for different materials. The course will cover the heat range and polarity in welding, as well as the effects of welding on different metals. Safety measures to be taken during the welding process will also be discussed, as well as the reading of blueprints. Upon completion of the course, students should have a strong foundation in welding safety and technique.
