Welding school training courses in Durham, NC (public, in-house or online)

This course introduces metal arc welding and flux core arc welding processes. Topics include equipment setup and fillet and groove welds with emphasis on application of GMAW and FCAW electrodes on carbon steel plate. Upon completion, students should be able to perform fillet welds on carbon steel with prescribed electrodes in the flat, horizontal, and overhead positions.

This course introduces basic welding and cutting. Emphasis is placed on beads applied with gases, mild steel fillers, and electrodes and the capillary action of solder. Upon completion, students should be able to set up welding and oxy-fuel equipment and perform welding, brazing, and soldering processes.

When you complete this lesson you will be able to describe the operating principles of oxy-acetylene welding and identify common oxy-acetylene welding apparatus. You will be able to explain how to properly light, weld with, and extinguish a welding torch.
