INWE 25040 - Analyzing Good Weld Characteristics 0.13 CR
In this module, the welding student will develop a basic understanding of characteristics that allow the operator to produce quality welds. Once the welding student obtains a basic knowledge of these characteristics, welds produced by the student will meet American Welding Society standards.
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Describe the fundamentals of shielded metal arc welding, as it relates to the AWS, ASME, API, and other welding codes and standards.
- Be able to identify the SMAW process in comparison to other arc welding processes.
- Identify the basic SMAW electrode numbering system as established by the American Welding Society for each electrode.
- Select the correct machine, amperage, polarity, and size electrodes for a given weld application.
- Produce various weld beads, flat position lap, and T-joints with various SMAW electrodes.
- Identify various weld defects and their characteristics.
- Execute correct metal preparation for open root groove welds.
