(B) examine the theory of shielded metal arc welding
and gas metal arc welding;
(C) examine the sheet metal industry; and
(D) examine the nomenclature of abrasive wheels.
(4) The student differentiates the function and application
of the tools, equipment, technologies, and materials used in metal
manufacturing. The student is expected to:
(A) use hand and power tools and equipment commonly
employed in metal manufacturing; and
(B) dispose of environmentally hazardous materials
used in metal manufacturing.
(5) The student applies the technical concepts and
skills of the machining industry to simulated and actual work situations.
The student is expected to:
(A) use various work mounting procedures on all appropriate
machines;
(B) operate machine tools such as drill press, lathe,
saw, grinders, and milling machines;
(C) execute lathe procedures such as cutting threads,
turning tapers, drilling, reaming, polishing, knurling, and boring;
and
(D) execute milling procedures such as milling flat
surfaces, bevels, chamfers, grooves, and key-way seats needed to machine
precision pieces.
(6) The student applies the technical concepts and
skills of the welding industry to simulated and actual work situations.
The student is expected to:
(A) perform cutting processes such as straight cuts,
bevel cuts, and hole piercing with oxy-fuel and plasma;
(B) use the common types of electrodes with the shield
metal arc welding process;
(C) practice using gas metal arc welding to weld in
multiple positions to produce groove and fillet welds; and
(D) inspect groove and fillet welds to AWS, CWB, ANSI,
and API codes.
(7) The student applies the technical concepts and
skills of the sheet metal industry to simulate actual work situations.
The student is expected to:
(A) use mathematics in precision measuring operations;
and
(B) interpret, engineering drawings, charts, and diagrams
as related to the sheet metal industry.
