All of the math topics taught in this course are trade related. This course is designed to meet the daily needs of machinists. This course is not intended for a general math audience. This course is designed to teach the student the fundamental skills of oxy-fuel and plasma processes used in industry. Major topics include principles of operation, component identification, equipment set up, minor repairs, process variables, and manual and automatic performance exercises.
Laboratory exercises emphasize technique and skill development.
This course provides the student with a thorough technical understanding of shielded metal arc welding, carbon arc cutting, welding and cutting safety, power sources, and electrodes. Hands on technical training will develop skills necessary to make quality arc welds on mild steel, in all positions and on varying plate thickness. Carbon arc skills will include cutting, gouging, and weld washing, of mild steel.
