Welding Basic

Students will learn the processes required to cut, fusion weld and produce welded joints on mild steel using oxy-acetylene welding equipment, braze welding and the shielded metal arc welding processes. Safe working practices and procedures for these welding operations will be examined in detail as welds are deposited in the flat and horizontal positions. This course is a pre-requisite for Canadian Welding Bureau qualification courses but is also for anyone who is interested in learning the basics of welding for their own personal benefit.

Notes:

You will meet in a classroom on the first day and this will be provided to you by email. For safety equipment, you will need safety boots/shoes, safety glasses and leather welding gloves. If you have your own welding helmet, please bring it. If not, you may borrow one of ours for the duration of the course. We will supply leather shop coats (cloth shop coats are not acceptable).
