Student Learning Outcomes:
 

  1. Recognize and properly setup the welding equipment to demonstrate the SMAW welding process.
  2. Demonstrate the SMAW process on ½” Carbon steel V-Groove plate by using an E-6010 electrode to successfully demonstrate a root pass with an “open butt” fit up.
  3. Demonstrate a hot pass on ½” carbon steel V-Groove plate by using the E-7018 electrode to construct the proper bead.
  4. Demonstrate a filler pass on ½” carbon steel V-Groove plate by using the E-7018 electrode to construct the proper bead.
  5. Demonstrate applying the final welds on ½” carbon steel V-Groove plate by using E-7018 electrodes to properly produce a “cover pass.”
  6. Perform all of the SMAW processes using E-6010 as well as E-7018 to completely weld ½” carbon steel V-Groove plate coupons in the 2G, 3G, and 4G positions to AWS standards.
