Welding+I

Welding I
This is a Beginning welding class. **//__ Safety __//** ,Basic Oxygen/Acetylene, Arc welding (E6011, E7018), Design and Building skill will be introduced during this class. Setup and use of the Oxygen/Acetylene Torch
 * Students will be required to pass a written test then a hands on test on safe setup and use of the torch


 * 1) Safety (Cutting glasses(#3-#5 lens), gloves, appropriate clothing/shoes)
 * 2) Turn the tanks on, Acetylene on first 3/4 turn - 240# pressure, Oxygen turn on all the way- 2200# of pressure
 * 3) Select the cutting tip, according to the metal thickness
 * 4) Adjust the flow gauges according to the tip size and metal thickness ( the gas has to be flowing to adjust)
 * 5) Clean the tip
 * 6) Light the torch, turn acetylene on 1/4 turn and light it and adjust it to smoking/nonsmoking. Add oxygen until you have a 3" feather, then pull the trigger and add oxygen untill the cones are focused
 * 7) Correct heigth (cones are 1/8" off the metal)
 * 8) Correct speed (go as fast as you can and still cut)
 * 9) Turn torch off (turn acetylene off first then oxygen, then turn the tanks off acetylene first then oxygen, then back off the flow gauge screw 1 turn)

Welding - I Assignments.

The Welding Technology program utilizes the books and videos from the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology, as well as lecture and live demonstrations from a qualified instructor. The Welding Technology program provides students with the necessary skills and knowledge to enter an apprenticeship program or be qualified as an entry level welder in most industries. Students are instructed on different methods of welding including; Oxygen/Acetylene, SMAW. Students also study welding symbols and blueprint reading. Students perform related tasks such as cutting, grinding, machine operation, and basic fabrication according to layouts, and blueprints. Students work in teams on private and school or community projects. These projects vary from new construction to rebuilding and/ or repairing existing projects // (Vocational Curriculum standard #4.3). // Proper safety procedures are emphasized with the use of all equipment. Students mastering all the assigned duties have the opportunity to earn, a national AWS welding certification in SMAW, FCAW. // (Vocational Curriculum standard #4.4) // // (Vocational Curriculum standard #4.5). //  The welding technology program participates in USA Skills and AWS (American Welding Society) // (Vocational Curriculum standard #4.9). // Members develop technical and leadership skills by interacting with industry professionals, welding students and instructors from other schools. At the end of the program students receive a portfolio with their resumes, outstanding achievement awards and documentation of each of the practical welding tasks they successfully completed. // (Vocational Curriculum standard #4.7) // The student will A. __ Perform measurement and related math __ B. __ Perform Oxyfuel and plasma cutting operation __ C. __ Operate shop equipment __ D. __ Perform Shielded Metal arc welding __ E. __ Perform Gas Metal Arc Welding __ F. __ Perform Gas Tungsten Arc Welding __ G. __ Understand weld symbols and work from blueprints __ __Measurement and related math__ 1. Read and understand fractions 2. Addition – Subtraction of fractions 3. Multiplication – Division of fractions 4. Read a tape measure or ruler to with in 1/16th of an inch 5. Understand the metric system 6. Perform standard to metric conversion
