Selecting and checking welding equipment and consumables. Operating welding equipment. Applying safety equipment and procedures. Ensuring suitability and strength of weld. Electric arc/C02 and aluminium welding available.

Outcomes:

On successful completion of this course the student will be able to interpret job instructions. Identify arc-welding equipment and check it for safety and suitability. Welding consumables are inspected for correct size and suitability. Metals to be welded are inspected for suitability. Things that make metals and/or consumables unsuitable are listed and discussed. Safety equipment and procedures required are listed and discussed. Arc-weld metals. Metals to be welded are prepared for welding process. Work area is inspected for fire hazard, secured and made safe. Appropriate welding process is applied. Weld is cleaned using correct procedure. Consequences of using wrong power setting or wrong consumables are listed and explained. Correct and all safety equipment is used. Apply quality checks on completed weld and correct if necessary. Visual check is conducted to ensure quality weld. Weld is checked for strength. Work-piece is checked for compliance with job sheet. Improper welded sections are made good.
