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

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

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.

A virtual 360 tour of the welding labs located at Fox Valley Technical College

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.

In this learning object, you’ll explore what tools should be a part of every welding tool bag.

As a welder, you'll need to know how to convert between standard and metric measurements. Try this activity to practice converting between these two measurements. A conversion chart is provided to help you complete this work.

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

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.
