WELD 1061 Vertical Shielded Metal Arc Welding
Introduces the major theory, safety practices, and techniques required for shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) in the
vertical position. Qualification tests, vertical position, are used in the evaluation of student progress toward making
industrial standard welds. Topics include: vertical SMAW safety and health practices, selection and applications of
electrodes for vertical SMAW, vertical SMAW joints, and vertical SMAW to specification.
