The Welding and Fabrication program provides students with training in oxy-acetylene welding and cutting, arc welding, MIG welding and TIG welding. Students start with planning and layout work, then progress to setting up and operating welding and cutting (Oxy-Fuel, and Plasma) equipment. The students learn shielded metal arc as well as MIG solid wire, flux core, and TIG welding in all positions. Some of the metals we weld with are carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, to name a few. Emphasis is placed on safety, as well as blueprint reading, properties of metal, metal identification, type and use of electrodes, welding rods, electrical principles, and welding symbols.
The use of manuals, specification charts, and understanding the welding standards established by the American Welding Society are stressed. Training in the planning, layout, forming, joining and fabrication of various shapes in light and heavy gauge metal and pipe are provided. Students are exposed to the use of specialized hand tools, shears, forming and shaping machines, drill presses and metal cutting saws. Inspection and testing processes, as well as procedures, are also demonstrated and explained.
The students will work on various projects throughout the time they are enrolled in Welding and Fabrication. We work on projects for the school, other teachers, students, outside customers, etc.
