​Individual Welding Competition – Skills USA, Utah 2022
Overview:
We’re excited to announce we will be holding the State Individual Welding competition this year in-person rather than being virtual!
During the competition, we’ll have a rotation for each process, and written exam. At the end of each rotation, the contestant will remain at their work station and wait to be directed to move to the next station.
Uniform – Skills USA Uniforms must be worn to both the Pre-Contest Meeting and Contest. Failure to wear the Skills USA uniform will result in 5% deduction.
This post provides a majority of information for this competition, however, please continue to look for follow-up posts that will include any updates or changes to the competition as it occurs.
Any inquiries- please reach out to me, Kevin Lannoch, at kevin_lannoch@lincolnelectric.com.

Rules & Guidelines:
1. Contestants are to observe all safety guidelines during the competition; including the wearing of uniform, safety glasses, and closed-toe shoes at all times.
2. There will be (6) rotations, 40 minutes each: GMAW-Carbon Steel, FCAW-Carbon Steel, SMAW-Carbon Steel, GTAW-Aluminum, Oxy Fuel Cutting-Carbon Steel, & Written Exam.
3. Contestants will complete a total of 3 widgets: (1) GMAW, FCAW, SMAW, (1) GTAW, & (1) Oxy Fuel (cutting only).
4. Once the drawings have been handed out, students are not allowed to talk to their instructors, or any other contestant regarding the drawings. Any infraction will be a 5% deduction.
5. Once the part has been tacked up, it must stay on its base during all welding. The contestant will lose 50% of their points on that widget, if they’re caught rotating it.
6. If a contestant finishes early during a rotation, they are to remain at their work station. Any infraction will be a 5% deduction.
