COURSE NAME

Level 2 Training in Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)

TRAINING AREA

Welding

GENERAL PURPOSE

At the end of the training action the trainee must have acquired the theoretical notions and practical skills suitable for the Shielded Metal Arc Welding process in vertical ascending and overhead positions.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES 

• Understanding the principles of Shielded Metal Arc Welding;
• Knowing how to perform welds on vertical plate and overhead position;
