What our graduates say about this class.

TIG Welding Student Who Will Benefit:
First Time Welders
Career Oriented Mechanics
Brazing Frame Builders Who Wish To Learn Another Method

Prerequisites:
None - this is an entry level class.

What You Will Learn:
This TIG Welding Seminar is designed to introduce TIG welding to prospective frame builders, or builders with brazing-only experience. This class is usually offered immediately following a Lugged Brazed Chromoly Frame Building class. Students taking both classes have an opportunity to learn the two most common construction techniques used by frame builders today. Though not required, some students take the TIG Welding Seminar as additional preparation for one of the TIG welded frame building classes; chromoly or titanium.

The seminar covers, in detail, equipment selection and use. A special emphasis is placed on producing strong, cosmetically appealing weld beads in bicycle frame joints. As with all of our classes, plenty of hands-on practice is combined with lectures and demonstrations. Students will learn the importance of accurate tube mitering and will have the opportunity to weld numerous chromoly practice joints during the seminar.
