Welding Technology 3 (LTC)
Grade 12
2 units
Prerequisite: Welding 2
Welding Technology 3 students continue to study advanced welding processes. Students weld in all positions using SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, and FCAW. Students weld on carbon steel, stainless, and aluminum. Students learn destructive testing methods as well as visual testing methods. Students in this class learn how to obtain welding certifications in the (3G) and (4G) positions. Students practice advanced cutting skills using Oxy-Fuel and Plasma cutting torches. Students fabricate projects from blueprints and weld them with multiple welding processes.Resources
