Within this lecture course, students will learn by classroom study activities,
the machines, electrodes used, striking of the arc, running ofcontinuous
beads, positions used, cast irons, carbon steels, and nonferrous metals.
IWT 121 Gas Shielded Arc Welding -------
1
Within this lecture course, students will learn, by classroom study, the
machines, filler metals, running continuous beads, positions, welding
of carbon and alloy steels used for gas tungsten ARC welding and gas shielded
arc welding.
