Part of Lesson Plan: Running a bead with and without filler rod

Activity Overview / Details

As the students enter the classroom /shop, I wait for them to take their seats and take roll.  In front of the classroom  I have examples of numerous oxy-acetylene welds/assignments; Push a puddle (no filler rod added), bead with filler rod, fusion outside corner weld, butt weld, lap weld, Tee weld, and examples of brazing and cutting.  I quickly pass the assignments / welds around the class and explain to them that these are the various assignments they will be performing over the next few weeks during the oxy-fuel unit.  After some discussion and all welds are accounted for, I proceed into the lecture portion of the lesson and present the PPT title "Running a bead with and without filler rod"  and hand out the student note packets (provided).
