This course provides a comprehensive exploration of Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), a versatile welding process with wide-ranging applications. Beginning with a rigorous focus on safety protocols specific to FCAW, students will establish a solid foundation before gaining a thorough understanding of the flux-cored arc process, equipment, & setup procedures, as well as the distinctions between FCAW & Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). Key variables affecting weld quality will be examined in detail, including the relationship between amperage & voltage, electrode selection, angles, travel speed, electrode extension, & joint design.
