**Why take this module?**
· Students will improve their positional welding skills while using a variety of common electrodes.

**What do you need to know before you start?**
· This module involves a great deal of practice welding and very little theory, so be prepared to spent the next couple of weeks in your booth. · Students who use drugs or alcohol before or during class will be withdrawn from the class permanently. · Students are not allowed in my office unless I am present. · Students must not leave the classroom or shop area without my permission. · Students must come to class prepared for class. · Students are required to keep a notebook. · Students who willfully damage school property will be held accountable for their actions. · Report all injuries to your instructor.

What will you be able to do when you finish this module?
· Weld in the flat, horizontal and vertical positions using E6010 and E7018

**When should your work be done?** · Preview the activities that are to be completed in this module and allot your time accordingly.

**Which resources may you use?**
· Welding For Apprentices (N.A.I.T.) · Welding by J. Pender

**FAB 3060 - SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING IV**
Level: Advanced Theme: Fabrication Process Prerequisite: Shielded Metal Arc Welding III (FAB 3050)

Module Parameters: Welding facility complete with Shielded Metal Arc Welding equipment and supplies. The student must have access to instruction from an individual with journeyman qualifications.


 * Learner Expectations**

The student will:

· explain the effects heating and cooling have on a weld and the weldment · demonstrate advanced level Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) competencies · perform a variety of welds to trade standards using four different electrodes · presentation of an occupational profile that outlines: - description of the occupation/trade working conditions - employment opportunities - training requirements · describe of the effects heating and cooling have on the quality of a weld and the adjacent materials


 * Assessment**

Assessment of student assessment will be based on:

· demonstrate basic competencies. · observations of individual effort and interpersonal interaction during the instructional period, emphasizing: - managing learning - managing resources - working with others - being innovative - demonstrating responsibility.


 * Learner Expectations**


 * Heating and Cooling**

· describe the effect of single and multiple pass welds on the base metal and previously deposited metal · determine the effect cold working conditions might have on weld quality · explain the need to preheat or post heat


 * Electrode Selection**

· review the factors to be considered when choosing an electrode; e.g., - static and dynamic loading - weld position - materials to be welded - current supply - ease of use - joint design and alignment - rate of deposit - depth of penetration - weld finish.


 * Preparation**

· review the properties and uses of the following electrodes: - E6010 and 11 - E7014, 18 and 24 · select the appropriate electrode for a given application · prepare the surfaces for welding · correctly position the weld


 * Equipment Set-up**

· adjust the equipment to coincide with the type of electrode, weld and metal thickness.


 * Shielded Metal Arc Welding**

· develop entry level arc welding skills in the flat, horizontal and vertical positions using a variety of weld types, joints, electrodes and thickness of mild steel · prepare welds for testing. //Welds completed here should be similar to those found in the first period of the apprenticeship program.//


 * Quality Control**

· perform a visual destructive and non-destructive test where appropriate


 * Career Preparation**

· determine employment opportunities and further training requirements for the welding trade or related occupation · maintain a record of completed activities within a portfolio.
