The students were tasked with making several different projects. One project was a pressure vessel with a through plate. The project consisted of SMAW, GMAW, GTAW (stainless to carbon) and OFC. The students also had to complete a OFC project that consisted of washing\/gouging a welded pipe from the center, creating a bevel in a hard to reach area, as well as making several shapes and corner to corner cuts. The additional OFC project was the states Keystone which awards the winner a cutting outfit. The last project was an &#8220;AWS&#8221; aluminum sign consisting of staggered fillet welds which the students were able to keep. The competition ran from 8:30AM to 3:30PM with a working lunch. Hats off to all the student competitors in this challenging competition!!!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b79d0da
