​ Basic principles of fusion welding processes. Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMAW), types of welding machines, types of joints and joint preparation, and classification system for electrodes used in carbon steel welding will be covered. Oxy Acetylene Welding theory, application, and equipment will be discussed in this course. Topics covered also include safety precautions for welding processes, the factors affecting residual stresses, distortion, and fatigue in welded joints, and soldering and brazing processes. In the welding workshop, joints preparation, soldering and brazing, gas welding, and arc welding application practices will be performed on carbon steel specimens.
