Multi-Process Welding Certificate

Description

This program focuses on applications of Structural Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) for application in industry. Training includes fillet welds and groove welds on plate, groove welds on pipe in all positions, and Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. Students will undergo multiple welding qualification tests and have the opportunity to gain an American Welding Society (AWS) certification to AWS D1.1, the structural steel welding code, as well as two American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Section IX Boiler and Pressure Vessel: one on SMAW welded pipe and the other on GTAW welded pipe.

Program Outcomes

Upon completion, students will be able to demonstrate:

• needed skills required for a Structural Plate certification test, following proper procedures and meeting the requirements of the welding codes
• proper technique in the application of GMAW (MIG)
• needed skills required for a SMAW Pipe certification test, following proper procedures and meeting the requirements of the welding codes
• needed skills required for a GTAW Pipe Steel certification test, following proper procedures and meeting the requirements of the welding codes
