NEW! Intro To ARC (Stick) Welding
Students will be take part in a two hour introductory course to ARC (stick) welding. Following a mandatory safety stand down, students will learn the vernacular commonly used with the tooling and welding process, leading into the techniques and hands-on instruction needed to weld safely and confidently using the ARC (stick) method.
See below for clothing requirements.
Welding hoods, gloves, safety glasses and jackets are provided.
Metal material will be provided for practice but students are encouraged to bring their own materials as well.
The advantages of stick welding include:
Environment: Stick welding creates a large arc that is not affected by wind, meaning that it can be used effectively both indoors and outdoors. Stick welding can be done in windy conditions and even underwater
Paint and Corrosion Resistance: Stick welding can be used for repairing parts that have paint or corrosion at the welding point
Easy-to-Learn: Stick welding is easy to learn, meaning that good quality welds can be made by someone with relatively little experience
Cost Effective: As there is no need for an inert gas supply, stick welding is an inexpensive option, as well as being easy to use in the field
