Welding and Machining (WMC)

Welding and Machining (WMC)

A Welder Machinist is able to perform various metal cutting, machining and welding jobs. Based on the shape, thickness, form and composition of materials, he determines the methods and tools needed for each assigned job. He also has the skill to do simple fabrication and to use lathes, milling machines, shapers, radial drill, drill press and bench grinders.

 

Educational/vocational objectives

The expected WMC educational/vocational objectives are that, upon completing all training courses including OJT, the trainee will be able to:

  • Apply principles of mathematics and applied science, to perform technical calculations and solve technical problems of the types commonly encountered in operation and maintenance technology careers.
  • Demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively and function effectively with members of multi-disciplinary teams and with other workers in an industrial setting, including those from different backgrounds.
  • Perform various cutting and machining jobs.
  • Perform various types of assigned welding jobs.
  • Explain the need for measuring tools in machining and maintenance operations.
  • Identify rigid rules, folding rules, depth rules, and tape measures; you will also be able to explain the correct procedures for taking accurate measurements.
  • Identify basic tools required and hand work methods used to manufacture replacement or repair parts used in various types of equipment.
  • Identify the basic control systems and machining methods used on vertical and horizontal milling machines and explain the basic operations necessary to manufacture parts used in various types of equipment.
  • Identify the basic lathe control systems and machining methods, and explain the basic methods to manufacture replacement or repair parts for various types of equipment.
  • Describe the proper erecting sequence of scaffolding and identify components used to build a scaffold and the different types of scaffolding used in various projects.
  • Describe the design of wire ropes and install wire ropes properly using lubrication.
  • Describe the design and importance of several types of rigging hardware.
  • Describe various types of overhead cranes and responsibilities related to the operation, inspection, and maintenance of overhead cranes.
  • Identify common welding hazards and safety procedures to mitigate these hazards.
  • Identify classifications of various metals and explain factors influencing their weldability.
  • Describe shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and identify equipment, procedures, and methods used.
  • Describe gas metal arc welding (GMAW) methods and design and function of components used in the GMAW process.
  • Describe tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding methods and design and function of components used in the process.
  • Describe oxyacetylene welding (OAW) techniques and function of components and apparatus used in the OAW process.
