Introduction to arc SMAW stick and oxyacetylene welding, including study of arc filler metals, application, classification, and related arc processes. Theory of arc flat, vertical, horizontal and overhead welding positions and oxyacetylene cutting, brazing, and fusion welding on pipe and mild steel.

Lab experience for WELD 1070. Covers arc welding on all base metals and all welding positions. Weld samples covering arc pipe welding and AWS certification welds will be completed. Oxyacetylene cutting, cast iron welding, brazing, hard facing, and fusion welding are covered through the use of weld samples.

Identification, classification, and application of metals as applied to the welding fabrication and machine shop areas.

Provides welding students with exposure and experience in reading welding symbols and fabrication layout. Structural steel and pipe layout projects are completed and one student project is laid out and fabricated.

Provides opportunities to perform basic machine shop and welding hand tool and power tool operations. Exercises using precision measuring instruments and layout tools are completed. Students will use theory information from WELD 1150 to perform lab exercises.
