AWS certification + 3 years of teaching and/or industry experience.
This welding certification course allows experienced welders to quickly achieve a specific certification issued by the AWS (American Welding Society) in the processes of MIG (also known as GMAW). MIG – i.e., Metal Inert Gas - welding is generally used for large and thick materials. It employs a consumable wire that acts as both the electrode and the fillermaterial. MIG welding is a versatile process and can be easily used to weld various metals and alloys, including copper, aluminum, nickel, and iron. The process can join dissimilar metals. The shielding gas protects the arc and the metal transfers across the electric arc.
