In this interactive object, learners read an explanation of the electrodes used for welding with the GMAW and FCAW processes. In two matching exercises, students test their knowledge of classification and specification numbers.

Learners will understand the technical terms used in the context of the SDS to help them interpret its information.

This module will guide you thru the use of welding coupons in the welding process.

The learner will gain an understanding of the modes of axis movement for successful robot programming.

The learner will understand proper safe handling and installation procedures for shielding gas cylinders.

In this activity, we'll examine some common discontinuities associated with GTAW welding and review ways to prevent these problems from happening.

In this learning activity you'll gain tips for successfully completing welding assignments.

In this interactive object, learners follow steps to assemble a wire feed welding torch or gun.

The learner will identify the steps and proper techniques for installing a wire spool on a welding machine.

Students view a video that shows the correct methods for starting a GTAW weld pool and adding filler. It focuses on the two problems that many students have – adding filler too soon and angling the torch so that the filler melts prematurely on the filler rod. Note: This activity is 3.6 mb.

The learner will understand and be able to apply the common welding variables of the GMAW process.

The Groove Weld Bend Test

The learner will understand the design of a planetary gear drive and its advantages and disadvantages.

The learner will identify the advantages and disadvantages of the four modes of GMAW transfer.

Robotic welding is an increasingly popular tool used in industrial welding applications. Knowing how to program the robot is key. Explore how to improve your programming skills by using if-then-else, calls, unconditional jumps, and counters in this learning activity.

The learner will...be able to safely use grinding equipment in the welding and metal fabrication shop.

In this learning module you'll become familiar with different types of GTAW electrodes.

2D and 3D views used to help convey information from a drafter or designer to the welder are provided. This activity will focus on a slotted block. A short quiz to test your ability to correctly read this information follows.

2D and 3D views used to help convey information from a drafter or designer to the welder are provided. This activity will focus on a three-step block. A short quiz to test your ability to correctly read this information follows.

The learner will...review the process for successfully completing a weld procedure specification for weld testing in the educational setting.

The learner will understand how to properly use a fillet gage to measure weld size.

2D and 3D views used to help convey information from a drafter or designer to the welder are provided. This activity will focus on a mounting wedge. A short quiz to test your ability to correctly read this information follows.

In this interactive and animated object, learners examine orthographic projection and the Glass Box Theory. Front, side, and top view development is demonstrated with pictorial views of each object to help develop 2D to 3D visualization skills.
