Students will use the skills they learned while stick welding in previous courses to perform horizontal, vertical and overhead welding operations on flat steel plates using fillet- and groovestyle joints. Additionally, students will learn how to correctly set up and operate a SMAW welder, replace the electrode/stick holder, and gain an understanding of carbon arc gouging.
