IM62 Welding Technology II

Course Number	IM62
Course Title	Welding Technology II
Course Description	This course introduces advanced welding and cutting practices used in industry and construction and emphasizes hands-on experience. Topics include safety, inspection, weld fit-up and testing, metal properties, and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). Mathematics and science are reinforced. * Per AWS, the trainee/instructor ratio for each course should be kept as low as possible. A reasonable figure would be fifteen (15) welding trainees to one (1) welding instructor. However, this ratio should never exceed the number of workstations in the laboratory. Twenty (20) welding personnel to one (1) instructor would be the maximum recommended acceptable ratio.
