Introduction to Arc Welding
If you’ve ever wanted to know more about welding, but didn’t have a way to do it, here’s your chance. There’s something mysterious and magical about welding. Welders sit so close to this fountain of sparks that most people would jump back from. They join steel (and other materials) together as if they were one.
This one-day class will be a survey of three common modern arc welding techniques which are appropriate for hobby welding:
- Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW/Stick)
- Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG)
- Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)
Each technique will be explained and demonstrated. Then the student will have hands-on time to practice.
IMPORTANT!!!
Wear clothing made of natural fiber with no cuffs or fraying. Leather or non-flammable shoes are advisable.
BRING:
- Welding helmet if you have one. Loaners are available.
- Welding gloves – Heavy insulated gauntlets
- Welding Jacket – Non-flammable fabric or leather. Loaners are available.
- Lunch
