This course will delve into the basic description of the principles of some common arc welding processes and discuss some details of the processes most frequently used in construction manufacturing. These processes are: Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) commonly called "stick welding." Flux cored arc welding (FCAW). Submerged arc welding (SAW). Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) commonly called "TIG welding." Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) commonly called "MIG welding."
