COURSE DESCRIPTION
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW-Plate)
The Shielded Metal Arc Welding course is designed to teach students about arc welding safety and the Shielded Metal Arc Welding process (SMAW-Plate), proper techniques and electrode selection for welding plate in various welding positions (1G,2G,3G,4G) to meet ASME welding code. Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is an arc welding process in which coalescence of metals is produced by heat from an electric arc that is maintained between the tip of a consumable covered electrode and the surface of the base metal in the joint being welded. This course contains 12 hours of lecture and 84 hours of lab, which totals 96 clock hours. In order to complete course student must pass a skills test. At the end of each course each student will receive proof of course completion.
