Gas Metal Arc Welding : Advanced (GMAWA)
This course provides training on pulse transfer other than the short-circuiting, which is covered in the Gas Metal Arc Welding course. The pulse transfer provides for high deposition rate for all position welding. This course also includes gas metal arc welding of aluminum.
