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.

The Groove Weld Bend Test

Fillet Weld Break Test

Fillet Weld Acid Etch Test

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

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

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 and unconditional jumps in this learning activity.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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