WELD 210 Gas Metal/Flux Cored Arc Welding II

In this course, students learn to produce groove welds with and without backing, create welds to specified dimensions, and work in multiple welding positions using a variety of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. All classroom instruction and laboratory practice follow the American Welding Society (AWS) standards to ensure safe, industry-aligned performance.
