Advanced MIG (42 HRS)

This class will further advance the students' welding skills to pipe. The student will learn the techniques required of a certified pipe welder. Proper tacks and feather edging, filler metal angles, and manipulations for open root pipe welding are taught.

​Class will consist of welding on carbon steel pipe with the GMAW-SC and FCAW processes. Training will be on ER70S solid wire, short-circuit transfer GMAW down-bead root, with E71T-1 flux-cored wire hot-and-fill passes and upward progression. Practice is geared toward certification to ASME IX, Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, in the 6G position on carbon steel.

Offered at our Maryland and Pennsylvania training locations through our educational partnerships.*
​
​Upon successful completion of the course, student will receive an Earlbeck Certificate of Completion. A certification test will also be administered within this course.  Passing the certification tests in accordance with ASME code standards provides an all-position ASME welder certification.

Objectives

Upon completion, the student should be able to:

• Perform Safety inspection of equipment and accessories
• Set-up and prepare material for welding
• Adjust machine to desired polarity, wire speed and voltage settings
• Make pad welds in 2G, 5G and 6G positions with GMAW and FCAW
• Make open root plate groove welds 2G, 3G and 4G with GMAW
• Make complete pipe welds in 2G, 5G and 6G positions with GMAW and FCAW
• Perform ASME Section welder certification test coupons in 6G position on 6" Sch. 80 pipe
