Advanced shielded metal arc (stick) welding techniques will be performed using mild steel electrodes in the flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions on structural plate. Identifying and analyzing defects in welding joints is emphasized. Carbon steel plate is welded using shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) to American Welding Society (AWS) Code. Students will develop skills necessary to make quality welds on carbon steel pipe with open root and backing rings according to AWS, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and American Petroleum Institute (API) code. Prerequisite: WLD 1350; Eligibility: MAT 1590. J fall. Master Course Syllabus

Machine setup and techniques for nonferrous metals, including aluminum and stainless steel, will be practiced. Welding applications of special metals such as copper, nickel, cobalt, and titanium will be discussed. Non-traditional or advanced welding and processing procedures such as resistance welding, automated plasma cutting, robotic welding and submerged arc welding are demonstrated. Laser and electron beam welding techniques are also reviewed. Prerequisites: WLD 2250, WLD 2260, and WLD 2270. Master Course Syllabus

Students will learn the basic properties, characteristics, and production of the major metal families and processes for ferrous and nonferrous metals. General metal properties, testing, and heat treatments are covered, along with crystal structures in metals, iron-carbon phase diagrams, and isothermal transformation diagrams. Eligibility: PHY 1250.
