Thermal Welding & Cutting Processes

WELD 1515

3 credits
(2 lab)/(1 lect) @ C-I

2 credits (1 lab/1 lect) @ all others

determined locally
Cambridge-Isanti / Pierz Royalton
Course Description
This course covers the use of oxy-fuel equipment in welding, cutting, brazing and the use of the Plasma ARC Cutting (PAC) and Air Carbon ARC Cutting (CAC-A) processses. A very important part of this course will be discussing safety as related to the thermal welding and cutting equipment. Time will be spent in the lab developing skills using the thermal welding and cutting processes. Welds will be made in the flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions. Cuts will be made in the flat and horizontal positions. Written and Fundamental tests will be done in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS) SENSE curriculum and code books.

WELD 1529

2 credits (2 lect) @ C-I only

1 credit
(1 lect) @ all others

determined locally Cambridge-Isanti / Pierz Royalton
Course Description
The welding profession requires a good working knowledge of blueprint and math concepts using whole numbers, fractions, decimals and the metric system in conjunction with blueprints. To accurately lay out and fabricate parts, the welder will need basic knowledge of blueprint lines, dimensions, notes, and welding symbols. In many instances the welder will be required to calculate the weight and cost of material to fabricate a tank, then calculate the capacity, which may be needed in cubic feet, gallons or liters. Written and fundamental tests will be done in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS) SENSE curriculum and code books.
