In this interactive object, learners read the common abbreviations used in engineering drawings and then test their knowledge in three short exercises.

In this interactive object, the learner reads an explanation of how various shielding gases are used in GMAW and FCAW. An exercise completes the activity.

The learner will identify the advantages and disadvantages of the four modes of GMAW transfer.

Learners will understand the technical terms used in the context of the SDS to help them interpret its information.

The learner will identify the steps and proper techniques for installing a wire spool on a welding machine.

In this learning activity you'll gain tips for successfully completing welding assignments.

In this interactive object, learners follow steps to assemble a wire feed welding torch or gun.

The learner will gain an understanding of the modes of axis movement for successful robot programming.

Students view a video that shows the correct methods for starting a GTAW weld pool and adding filler. It focuses on the two problems that many students have – adding filler too soon and angling the torch so that the filler melts prematurely on the filler rod. Note: This activity is 3.6 mb.

The learner will understand and be able to apply the common welding variables of the GMAW process.

The learner will understand the design of a planetary gear drive and its advantages and disadvantages.

Robotic welding is an increasingly popular tool used in industrial welding applications. Knowing how to program the robot is key. Explore how to improve your programming skills by using if-then-else, calls, unconditional jumps, and counters in this learning activity.

In this interactive object, learners practice their 3D visualization skills by identifying the correct isometric view of an object. Front, side, and top orthographic views are shown.

The Groove Weld Bend Test

In this learning module you'll become familiar with different types of GTAW electrodes.

The learner will...be able to safely use grinding equipment in the welding and metal fabrication shop.

2D and 3D views used to help convey information from a drafter or designer to the welder are provided. This activity will focus on a slotted block. A short quiz to test your ability to correctly read this information follows.

The learner will...review the process for successfully completing a weld procedure specification for weld testing in the educational setting.

The learner will understand how to properly use a fillet gage to measure weld size.

The learner will gain an understanding of how a robot uses welding instructions to perform tasks. This learning activity includes video.

2D and 3D views used to help convey information from a drafter or designer to the welder are provided. This activity will focus on a three-step block. A short quiz to test your ability to correctly read this information follows.

2D and 3D views used to help convey information from a drafter or designer to the welder are provided. This activity will focus on a mounting wedge. A short quiz to test your ability to correctly read this information follows.

This module is identify parts of the GMAW wire feed equipment.

In this activity, we'll examine some common discontinuities associated with GTAW welding and review ways to prevent these problems from happening.
