22.1 To complete a Vee butt weld on heavy steel plate in the flat position.
22.2 To test using a bend test. (CCT) |
Review the Vee butt process: select electrode, bevel metal, set spacing, tack weld, run necessary number of beads, clean after each pass, never cool, use minimal heat settings to get required fusion and penetration, do not overweld, finished beads should be slightly convex, grind smooth, and bend test. (CCT, COM)
Demonstrate introductory skill in welding flat V-groove butt joint.
Vee butt welding on plate is a 2 hour practicum (SIAST).
See Welder Level I Apprenticeship documents.
Complete at this time and use again at the end as a final practical assignment. |
Module 22B: Electric Arc Welding "Vee" Butt Weld (Optional)
Review or repeat Module 22A as required before progressing to the next module at the B30 level.
Suggested time: 3-5 hours
Module 23A: Metal Inert Gas (MIG) and Electric Arc Welding Projects (Optional)
Suggested time: 8-12 hours Level: Introductory
Foundational Objectives
- To develop effective use of tools and equipment in order to develop entry level skills in the welding trade.
- To develop critical evaluation skills in order to judge quality welding workmanship.
Common Essential Learnings Foundational Objectives
- To use numeracy skills to measure and calculate required sizes and shapes of products used and constructed in welding. (NUM)
- To develop a product using learned skills, knowing when new skills are required, and developing a procedure that will ensure product completion. (CCT)
Note: Other CELs may be emphasized.

24.1 To construct an assigned or an approved but comparable project. (PSVS, IL)
|
Projects may be incorporated into the work study.
An approved project would be one of the student’s choice that would fit the timeline and would be representative of the skill level at this grade level. Make connections to the community, if possible.
Guidelines for evaluation of projects are:
- Planning and management: generates project ideas; reads a basic blueprint; interprets basic welding symbols; plans and utilizes drawing; sets a procedure sequence; prepares a material list and estimates cost; and creates a timeline. (NUM)
- Fabrication techniques: cuts material and sets up in the proper sequence; completes each p>
- Follows directions; and, adheres to timelines. (TL, NUM)
- Work skills: works cooperatively; follows all safety requirements; follows all handling and storing procedures; and fulfills cleanup and tool maintenance responsibilities. (PSVS)
- Presentation skills: presents the completed project and understands the evaluation criteria for the project. (COM)
Suggested ideas for projects include:
- project safety stands (Appendix D)
- gauge metal project recycle waste container (Appendix D)
- portable tool stand
Other projects may be selected from recommended welding resources, the Internet, or community partners.
Discuss the possibilities for entrepreneurship.
