Introduction to Welding

This competition is designed for underclassmen (9-11) still developing their welding skills, allowing them to compete and actively participate in SkillsUSA. Before arriving at SLSC, students are required to create a welding board that adheres to specific weld procedure sheets (WPS) for each weld.

The welding board must include a total of 9 welds, comprising 3 SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) welds, 3 GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) welds, and 3 Oxy-Acetylene (O/A) cuts.
