WELD-103: Gas Metal Arc Welding I

In gas metal arc welding (also referred to as MIG welding), students will learn how to set up and use GMAW equipment and the accessories required to weld. Students then will use a MIG welder to perform the basic positions of a lap, tee, butt, and butt with backing bar to produce groove-style joints in the flat and horizontal planes. Students also will learn basic maintenance of a GMAW-style welder, including gas hookup and wire spool replacement.
