Introduction to Types and
Identification of Metals
This
manual presents an introductory explanation of the basic
types of metal and provide initial instruction on using simple
tests to establish their identity.
Basic Heat Treatment
This general, apprentice-level manual covers topics such as:
heat treatment theory, types and stages of heat treatment,
heating colors associated with steel, and types of quenching
media.
Introduction to Welding
This manual provides a background of basic information
applicable to welding in general.
Gas Cutting
This manual introduces the purpose and components of OXYGAS
cutting equipment, including cutting procedures, assessing
cutting quality, and safety precautions associated with gas
cutting.
Gas Welding
This manual presents information on the equipment and materials
used in gas welding, as well guidance on the operation and
maintenance of oxyacetylene and oxy-MAPP equipment. In addition,
it will recommend welding techniques for both ferrous and
nonferrous metals.
Soldering, Brazing, Braze
Welding, and Wearfacing
This
manual presents procedures for joining metals, but without
fusion. These procedures, which include soldering, brazing,
braze welding, and wearfacing, allow you to join dissimilar
metals and produce high-strength joints while not affecting the
heat treatment of the base metal or warping it as much as
conventional welding may do with the requisite high
temperatures.
Plasma Arc Cutting
This is an apprentice-level learning resource for the welding
trades. This one presents an introductory explanation of plasma
arc cutting.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding -- SMAW
This manual gives you an
understanding of the safety precautions for SMAW and an awareness of the
importance of safety in welding. You will also get a basic understanding
of the SMAW process and equipment along with the key variables that
affect the quality of welds such as electrode selection, polarity and
amperage, arc length, travel speed, and electrode angles. We will also
cover core competencies such as setting up welding equipment, preparing
weld materials, fitting up weld materials, welding carbon steel plates,
and repairing welds.
Gas-Tungsten Arc Welding -- GTAW (TIG)
This manual presents a basic understanding of the GTAW/TIG
process and equipment, along with the key variables that
affect the quality of welds. It will also cover core
competencies such as setting up equipment, preparing
materials, fitting up, starting an arc, welding pipes and
plates, and repairing welds. You also get an understanding
of the safety precautions for GTAW/TIG and an awareness of
the importance of safety in welding.
Gas-Metal Arc Welding -- GMAW
This manual is designed to give you a basic understanding
of the GMAW process and equipment, along with the key
variables that affect the quality of welds, such as
electrode selection, travel speed, welding position,
amperage, arc length, and electrode angles. It also covers
core competencies such as setting up welding equipment,
preparing weld materials, fitting up weld materials,
starting an arc, welding pipes and plates, and repairing
welds. And finally, you will get an understanding of the
safety precautions for GMAW and an awareness of the
importance of safety in welding.
Flux Core Arc Welding -- FCAW
This manual offers a basic understanding of the FCAW
process and equipment along with the key variables that
affect the quality of welds, such as electrode selection,
polarity and amperage, arc length, travel speed, and
electrode angles. It also covers core competencies, such as
setting up welding equipment, preparing weld materials,
fitting up weld materials, welding carbon steel plates, and
repairing welds. It also provides you with an understanding
of the safety precautions for FCAW and an awareness of the
importance of safety in welding.
Aircraft Welding
This text addresses the welding equipment, methods, and various techniques
used during the repair of aircraft and fabrication of component parts, including
the processes of brazing and soldering of various metals.
