Best Welder in Washington County

Moraine Park held a welding competition at our Jackson Campus, Friday, Dec. 2 for high school students.  The event, hosted by our Welding Program, had participants from West Bend and Slinger high schools locate and cut a hole, put the parts together to match a print, then weld them per print.  The students could pick either GMAW, SMAW, or both.

GMAW is gas metal arc welding, and SMAW is Shielded metal arc welding.
