This course is meant to be an introduction to the cutting processes involved with welding. It was created in conjunction with the AWESM grant consortium led by Forsyth Tech. The material has been reviewed and acknowledged by the eight colleges within the program.The PDF includes the course layout, embedded readings, and links to video content.The PDF includes the course layout, embedded readings, and links to video content. Subjects include, safety, plasma arc cutting, flame cutting, oxyfuel gas cutting, and mechanical cutting processes.
This course introduces basic welding and cutting. Emphasis is placed on beads applied with gases, mild steel fillers, and electrodes and the capillary action of solder. Upon completion, students should be able to set up welding and oxy-fuel equipment and perform welding, brazing, and soldering processes.
