Arc Welding: Vertical and Overhead covers Shielded Metal Arc Welding (or “Stick” welding) on mild carbon steel plate in the vertical position as well as the overhead position. Safety rules and equipment usage are emphasized. There will be discussion on positioning, weld parameters, and travel speed adjustments for vertical and overhead welding. An introduction to oxyacetylene cutting is covered, as well as metal preparation and joint fit up for vertical and overhead welded connections. Visual inspection and destructive testing will be demonstrated for soundness of welds and guide operator skill progression
