This course introduces the concepts and techniques involved with the gas tungsten arc welding
process, safety procedures, equipment assembly, electrical theory and machine selection, maintenance and
repair, safety testing, electrode selection and preparation, and the production of quality groove and fillet
welds in the 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 1F, 2F, 3F, and 4F positions. Students will be introduced to GTAW process with
carbon steel and Austenitic Stainless Steel and then build upon that foundation through practical experience
in the laboratory where a variety of welding techniques will be taught through practical exercises and
reinforced through self and peer inspection.
