Chapter 23 Welding Metallurgy Chapter 24 Weld ability of Metals Chapter 25 Filler Metal Selection Chapter 26 Welding Automation and Robotics Chapter 27 Other Welding Processes Activities: Students will be responsible for defining the terms, and answering all parts of the Self Evaluation for each chapter, and completing Labs. Clean up and wearing the appropriate safety protection is also worth 30% of your grade. Late work will be assessed accordingly. 10% for each day late. After the assignment has been given. Copying or cheating will result in a 0% grade for that Lab or assignment. Students will also be given time in the lab to make their own project using welding processes.
