10 Professional Development Hours/1.0 CEUs

Course Description: The Welding of Metals Course will help in the understanding of the complexity of the metallurgy of welding and the significant aspects that can produce better weldments, proper welding operations and practices. A description of some of the most widely used methods of welding are also discussed. The welding operation can be a conventional method or an automated system, subject to the kind of material and the design of the product. Considerations are given when deciding to choose between the two systems, automated vs. conventional.
