Structural Welding
Prep for structural work per AWS D1.1: reading weld symbols on a fabrication drawing, joint preparation and fit-up, process selection (SMAW for field, FCAW for production), preheat and interpass temperature rules, and what a code-quality weld looks like under visual inspection. Built from welding fundamentals, SMAW, weld-symbol reading, and the AWS D1.1 overview so a fitter and welder can agree on what the print wants.
