Robotic welding allows welders to create more consistent and higher quality welds. But, it requires you to understand the terminology associated with its programs. Watch this module to review terminology associated with robotic arc welding and the weaving process.

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

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.
