WLDG25D
Module 25D: GMAW Safety and Equipment (Core)
Outcome
Develop the effective use of GMAW equipment through an understanding of the science of welding.
Indicators
(a) Justify the relationship between wire speed and amperage, as well as between welding voltage and arc length.
(b) Investigate the effects of backhand (pull) welding and forehand (push) welding.
(c) Analyze the effects of torch angle on weld penetration and weld appearance.
(d) Identify the probable causes of the following defects: surface porosity, sub-surface porosity, lack of fusion, burn through, and lack of penetration.
(e) Identify strategies to evaluate and improve weld quality.
(f) Identify metals and perform preparation and assembly tasks prior to welding.
