This module will guide you thru the use of welding coupons in the welding process.

Explore welding electricity fundamentals including electron theory, parts of a circuit, welding power sources, and types of current.

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

In this interactive object, learners read an explanation of the electrodes used for welding with the GMAW and FCAW processes. In two matching exercises, students test their knowledge of classification and specification numbers.

Learners will follow general tips and tricks for improving their basic welding technique.

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

Step inside this activity to view a 360° virtual safety tour of the FVTC Welding Labs.

We’ll explore why everyone should reduce the waste they produce in the welding shop. We'll also demonstrate some ways to reduce waste as you work.

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

In this activity you'll identify several hazards in a welding environment.

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

Learners view wire feed power sources ranging from 110-volt, single phase units to 460-volt, three-phase units. A description and photos of each are provided.

Identify and learn more about the parts of a welding torch, cables, and a welding machine.

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