MIG Welding Technology

Description

Students learn fast, efficient welding techniques suitable for production and fabrication industries. Training covers shielding gas use, wire feed systems, and clean weld finishes. Particularly valuable for automotive bodywork and light metal fabrication.

Course Outline:

• Foundations: Electrode types, polarity, safety and arc principles.

• Bead Practice: Different positions, travel speeds and consistent bead formation.

• Joint Types & Fit-up: Butt, lap, fillet and groove joints with proper prep.

• Defect Prevention & Repair: Porosity, slag inclusion fixes and rework techniques.

• Certification Welding Tests: Weld to codes/specs under timed conditions.

• Practical Project & Trade Mock: Complete structural welds for assessment.
  Outcome: Certified welder, maintenance welder, site welder.
