The Welding Technology Level 2: Shielded Metal Arc Welding 2 (SMAW 2) program will prepare students to work out in the pipe lines and other industrial type settings. This process is commonly used to perform industrial maintenance and repairs in mines, power plants and refineries.
In this process, students will learn to weld advanced joint configurations, including pipe to plate and pipe to pipe.They will use E7018, E6010 and E309-16 Electrodes.
Students will also learn advanced Testing and Inspection techniques and Thermal Cutting processes. Students learn industrial requirements and occupational skills needed in the welding field. The welding program emphasizes hands-on individualized instruction.
