WELDING TRAINING & CERTIFICATION
Call the Training Center for information.
BASIC WELDING
Training Description:
Basic training on safety of welding cylinders, general safety of welding, principles and applications of gas welding, torch cutting, Shielded Metal Arc Welding and many hours practice on flat, horizontal and vertical welding with 6011 and some 7018 electrodes. The focus will be on the craft of welding done by Bricklayers.
Training Objectives:
Identify and explain all the safety in working with the oxyacetylene cylinders, regulators, torches and general common sense safety in dealing with gases in welding and cutting.
Identify welding terms in dealing with parts of the weld, (toes, legs, throat, root, face)
Identify different welding joints, (butt, lap, tee, corner, edge)
Explain the basics of the S.M.A.W. power source and basic electricity in dealing with A.C. and D.C. and polarity (Reverse & Straight).
Safety in Shielded Metal Arc Welding (electrical safety, Ultraviolet Arc radiation, eye, ear and clothing safety).
Dealing with distortion and stresses and strains in welding.
Identification of electrode designations in arc welding.
Students will spend many hours in the welding lab, welding on plates and learning to weld different joints and different positions to master the craft of welding on the job and also testing these welds to understand that they need to get proper fusion for the welds to hold under loading conditions.
Weld inspection and going over welding defects and how to correct any of these defects are going to be a focus in this class.
Training Schedules and Instructors:
These classes are available in several Community Colleges or Building Trades Facilities around the state. The classes are instructed by Certified and Skilled Instructors.
Classes can be scheduled through the Training Center Office.
(Call: (517) 886-2221 for information)
Classes are usually two (2) evenings per week, three (3) hours per evening for approximately six (6) weeks. Some areas offer flexible class hours.
Basic Welding is required for all Bricklayer Apprentices before graduating to Journeyman and is available to all crafts as needed.
(this class is intended for basic skills and does not provide a certification (see Certification Welding for the requirements of that class)
CERTIFICATION WELDING
Training Description:
Basic Welding is a prerequisite to this approximate forty (40) hour class. If the student has sufficient skills through experience or formal training, the student may be evaluated for skill level to determine how much training will be required in order to pass the required Certification Test.
These Classes are also scheduled through the Training Center Office.
