The intent of this course is to relate Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing to blueprints, the inspection of parts, and setting up of parts on the different machines in the machine shop. Part of this course is devoted to math concepts and math problems related to machine tool. Typical operations include tee, lap, corner and butt joints in the flat, horizontal and vertical positions. Arc welding includes a variety of electrodes and manipulations including whipping the E6010. Butt joints are welded both open and with backing strips similar to state certification requirements.
Additional instruction is given in brazing and flame cutting.
10 Credits A continuation of the basic welding course designed to further develop skills of students in the technology of welding. Metals covered include carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and cast iron. All the positions and joints are covered on a variety of metals with the GTAW and GMAW processes. Additional overhead skills are covered with the SMAW, brazing and oxyacetylene processes. State code welding is stressed where applicable.
