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.

Fillet Weld Break Test

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.

Fillet Weld Acid Etch Test

The Groove Weld Bend 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.

This learning object describes the equipment and supplies needed to document bloodstain patterns.

In this learning activity you'll recognize several patterns on an Xbar and R control chart. These non-random patterns are indications that the process is not in a state of statistical control.

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

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

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

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.

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

The student reads definitions of four basic assimilation patterns in American society and creates a model for each by clicking and dragging building blocks. The student also writes a brief explanation of each new model.

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

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