Description
This session, designed for women only, will serve as an introduction to a variety of welding processes commonly used today. This course is structured to provide a demonstration of the equipment and fundamentals of each process in combination with a description and discussion of the process limitations and typical applications. Students will gain an understanding and appreciation of these processes through hands-on application of the techniques used in the following: thermal cutting (OFC and plasma); shielded metal arc welding and gas metal arc welding. The structure and duration of this experience is a basic introduction and therefore is not designed to build proficiency in any area.
Students are expected to wear leather shoes or boots, and a long sleeve shirt. Safety glasses, visor, gloves and a jacket will be issued to you on the first night of class which will be yours to keep.
