4. Develop the following GMAW (MIG) welds: continuous, stitch, tack, plug, butt weld with and without backing, for aluminum and steel.
   1. Demonstrate cleaning and preparation of the metal to be welded, assure good metal fit-up, apply weld through primer if necessary, and clamp as required (HP-I)
   2. Show the proper angle of the gun to the joint and direction of gun travel for the type of weld being made in the flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions
   3. Determine the joint type (butt joint with backing, lap, etc.) for weld being made (HP-I)
   4. Determine the type of weld (continuous, stitch, plug, etc.) for each specific joint type (HP-I)
   5. Develop a lap weld, plug weld, and butt welds with backer in the horizontal / vertical and overhead positions, using various metal thickness. Steel only.
5. Take part in visual and destructive tests on each weld type as outlined on 4.5
   1. Identify the causes of various welding defects; make necessary adjustments
   2. Identify cause of contact tip burn-back and failure of wire to feed; make necessary adjustments
