Course description
Would you like to learn how to weld but don’t know where to start?
The three most common welding processes are SMAW (stick welding), MAG (semi-automatic), and TIG. Each has its advantages, disadvantages, and specific use cases.
The right question to ask yourself before signing up for a welding introduction is therefore: “What kind of metal project do I want to make?”
Content and objectives:
Understanding the differences between welding processes and what makes a good weld.
All the theoretical and practical basics of welding.
Choosing your equipment: welding machine, electrodes, PPE, etc.
