Course Description – Training for certification in AWS D1.3 FCAW or GMAW
Course Objective – By the end of the class session, the student should be able to weld fillet
and groove welds in all positions. The student will be taught how to apply the proper welding
techniques to T joints, Lap joints and Groove welds, as needed in the welding industry.
Classroom Instruction: Shop and field safety standards, rules and regulations needed to
develop safe work ethics.
Lab/Shop: Hands on welding with FCAW and GMAW wires. Proper technique in welding
basic joints – Tee, Lap, Butt, Edge, and Corner. Instruction required for adequate placement of
weldment in the Flat (F), Horizontal (H), Vertical (V), and Overhead (OH) positions.
PROCESSES: GMAW – MIG Welding – used widely in the fabrication industry. It is the
most commonly used welding process in many fabrication industries.
FCAW – used in the construction industry on both thin and thick steels because of it’s ease of
usage and high productivity rate. It can be used in many other welding industries as well.
