TRANSCRIPT
Welding Training Program
The Technical Training Center instructors will conduct a course for non-Ford personnel to learn how to set up, maintain and use various welding processes to permanently join metal parts. Additionally, students will learn to use an oxy-acetylene torch and plasma cutting tungsten rod for cutting metal.
The methods learned will be:
• ShieldedMetalArcWelding(SMAWorstick) • GasMetalArcWelding(GMAWorMIG) • GasTungstenArcWelding(GTAWorTIG) • Oxy-acetylenewelding,cuttingandbrazing(stick) • Plasmacutting • Brazingandsoldering
Types of joints include:
• Lap • Butt • Corner • Edge • Tee
Participants will practice the following weld positions:
• 1G–Flat • 2G–Horizontal • 3G–Vertical • 4G–Overhead • 5G–Horizontalfixedpipe • 6G–450fixedpipe
