Overview
This course provides a gateway to the worlds most common welding process known as Shielded Metal Arc Welding, this course offers an entry point for those who are looking to comprehend the basic elements of the Shielded Metal Arc Welding Process. Participants will learn about the fundamental principles and practical applications of the Shielded Metal Arc Welding process. This course is designed to help those who are not welding language fluent gain a better understanding of this welding process. Students will acquire the foundational knowledge and baseline vocabulary needed to navigate the welding landscape.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process.
- Explain the importance of the flux covering in the SMAW process.
- Summarize common requirements for filler metal control and storage in industry.
- Identify the types of SMAW equipment used in industry.
- Describe visual testing (VT) of welds.
- Explain the considerations involved in selecting SMAW electrodes.
- Summarize the role of SMAW in materials joining and weld quality.
