Course Outline for Welding Technology 65B
ADVANCED TIG, MIG, AND BLUEPRINT READING
Catalog Description:
65B – Advanced TIG, MIG, and Blueprint Reading
(May be repeated three times)
3 units
Advanced skill development in TIG (GTAW) and MIG (GMAW) welding of ferrous and non-ferrous
alloys in the vertical and overhead positions according to the American Welding Society (AWS)
codes. Advanced blueprint reading and fitting of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Hazardous material
regulations. Prerequisite: Welding Technology 65A or equivalent. 1 hour lecture, 6 hours laboratory.
Prerequisite Skills:
Upon entering the course, the student should be able to:
1 identify oxyfuel equipment and supplies;
2 identify non-ferrous and ferrous alloys;
3 demonstrate safe and proper use of TIG/MIG (GTAW/GMAW) equipment;
4 interpret blueprints, layout, fit and weld non-ferrous and steel alloys;
5 demonstrate proper and safe techniques for oxyfuel and plasma cutting of metals;
6 interpret basic blueprints for TIG/MIG (GTAW/GMAW) welding processes;
7 identify and interpret material safety data sheets and hazardous materials regulations;
8 demonstrate TIG/MIG (GTAW/GMAW), welding of non-ferrous and ferrous alloys in the flat,
horizontal and vertical positions according to AWS codes;
9 identify TIG/MIG (GTAW/GMAW) difficulties and propose corrective procedures.
Expected Outcomes for Students:
Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to:
1 demonstrate TIG/MIG welding procedures in the vertical and overhead position;
2 interpret and draw advanced blueprints;
3 demonstrate layout, fitting and welding of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys;
4 demonstrate safe and proper use of plasma and oxyfuel cutting;
5 identify and interpret material safety data sheets and hazardous material regulations;
