Subject Description: 

02 PIPE FCAW/GMAW- Intro Lec 5 hours/ Lab 20 hours 

Prerequisites: Admission to program. 

Is combined of lecture and lab in one on one demonstrations with the assigned instructor. The introduction will cover basic and fundamental steps needed to know how the PIPE-FCAW process on pipe works. Students will learn how to properly fit and prepare pipe bevels, run basic welding beads, and weld a root pass. Students will also learn to identify and fix any troubleshoot problems that can or may occur. Finally, student will also be thought proper cleaning methods and techniques on the welds that will be executed. 

02 PIPE FCAW/GMAW- Horizontal 1G Roll Out  Lec 5 hours/ Lab 20 hours 

Prerequisites: pass the visual test of course, 02 Pipe FCAW/GMAW – Intro. 

At this stage students will be welding on a pipe at a 1G horizontal roll out position. Students will learn to: weld a root pass with a 70s6 MIG wire, weld a hot and filler pass, and weld the cap process with E71T-1 electrode. 

02 PIPE FCAW/GMAW- 6G Position  Lec 5 hours/ Lab 20 hours 

Prerequisites: pass the visual test of courses, 02 Pipe FCAW/GMAW – Intro and horizontal 1G roll out.

6G Position consist of welding in a fixed 45-degree position. Student will learn to: weld a root pass in the fixed 6G position with a 70s6 MIG wire, weld a hot and filler pass, to later weld the capping process on a 6G position with E71T-1 electrode. 

02 PIPE-FCAW/GMAW- 5&2G Positions Lec 5 hours/ Lab 20 hours 

Prerequisites: pass the visual test of courses, 02 Pipe FCAW/GMAW – Intro, horizontal 1G roll out and 6G positions. 

In 5&2G position students will learn: how to weld individual root passes in 5G and 2G positions with a 70s6 MIG wire, along with welding a hot and filler pass on a 5G and 2G position. Student will then weld and learn the cap process on individual fixed positions of 5G &2G with E71T-1 electrode. 

02 PIPE-FCAW/GMAW- Test on pipe in all Positions Lab 20 hours 

Prerequisites: pass the visual test of courses, 02 Pipe FCAW/GMAW – Intro, horizontal 1G roll out, 6G and 5&2G positions. 

Pipe FCAW/GMAW test will be a 6inch pipe sch.80 MIG root with 70S6 MIG wire and fill and cap process with E71T-1 electrode. Once the student is done with test, we will cut straps at 6 o’clock, 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, & 9 o’clock and bend straps to see test results.
