MIG - Metal Inert Gas

Recommended starting point

MIG 1

If you have never welded before take this class first

In this class, you learn the basics of the electrode arc welding process. After developing basic metal inert gas welding knowledge you will cut, grind, and learn basic welding techniques.

$120 — MIG 1
$120 — MIG 2
$216 — MIG 1 & 2 BUNDLE (SAVE 10%)
$216 — MIG 1 & 2 Women in Welding

MIG 2

MIG 2 continues to develop welding techniques for all of the basic weld joints while focusing on filet welds. In addition, you will learn how to cut with a plasma torch and prep metal to be welded.

 

 

 

 

 

MIG 3

MIG3 focuses on MIG welding on aluminum with a spool gun. This class will cover converting the MIG gun to a spool gun and welding on aluminum with a lecture on the comparisons to other materials such as stainless steel.

Women in Welding
(women only)

This is a five-hour class, with a half-hour break, that is the equivalent of MIG 1 and 2.

 

TIG - Intermediate 

(MIG 1 is a prerequisite for TIG classes) 

TIG

$135 — TIG 1
$135 — TIG 2
$243 — TIG 1 & 2 BUNDLE (SAVE 10%)

$175 - TIG 3 Aluminum and Stainless Steel

TIG 1

learn the basics of Tungsten Inert Gas welding (TIG). Development of limb independence and torch control. Gaining a better understanding of the elements of welding in order to control them as you move through the weld zone with the TIG torch.

TIG 2

Have you heard of “stack of dimes”? That was originated in TIG welding. In this class, you will learn how to identify a good TIG weld and develop arc control techniques. 

TIG 3

We will focus on stainless steel and aluminum welding and the weld positions and joints you learned in TIG 1 and 2.

 

Flux

Flux

$125 — SMAW (Stick)

SMAW (stick)

Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), informally known as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld.

Flux Core

Private class only — SMAW (Stick)

Wire feed welding is similar to MIG welding but instead of a shielding gas it uses flux similar to stick welding. Great process for outdoor use. The class will focus on flat and horizontal positions and four of the basic weld joints.
