What will I learn?
This course covers every stage of aluminum fabrication, starting with material properties, alloy classifications, and temper designations that directly affect how you cut, weld, and machine the metal. You will learn safe shop practices, proper PPE selection, and ventilation requirements before moving into cutting methods, surface preparation, and joint fit-up. GTAW and GMAW processes are covered in depth, including machine setup, filler metal selection, and multi-pass technique. Machining fundamentals address tool geometry, speeds, feeds, and workholding strategies for accurate aluminum parts. Weld inspection, defect correction, and dye penetrant testing round out your quality control skills.
