Lesson Plan: Introduction to Manual

Metal Arc Welding (MMAW)


Lesson Title:
Introduction to Manual Metal Arc Welding

Grade/Level:
Technical/Vocational – Beginner Level

Duration:
2 hours

Learning Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

 Describe the basic principles of MMA welding.


 Identify key components of MMA welding equipment.
 Demonstrate correct setup and safety procedures.
 Perform a basic bead weld on mild steel.

Materials/Equipment Needed:
 Welding machines (AC/DC)
 Welding rods (e.g., E6013)
 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): helmet, gloves, jacket, safety boots
 Mild steel plates
 Electrode holders, clamps, chipping hammer, wire brush
 Whiteboard/marker or projector/slides

Lesson Procedure:

1. Activating Prior Knowledge (10 minutes)


 Ask:
 "What do you know about welding?"
 "Can you name types of welding you've heard of?"
 "Why do you think welding is important in industries like construction or automotive?"
 Let students share, then briefly connect their responses to today’s topic: MMA welding.
2. Introduction to New Material (20 minutes)
 Explain what MMAW is: a process where heat is produced by an electric arc between a
covered metal electrode and the base metal.
 Show pictures or real tools: welding machine, electrode, ground clamp, etc.
 Discuss advantages (portable, simple, low cost) and limitations (slag, manual skill
needed).

3. Demonstration (20 minutes)


 Demonstrate how to set up the machine.
 Show proper PPE and explain safety protocols.
 Demonstrate striking an arc and running a straight bead.
 Emphasize posture, distance, and travel speed.

4. Student Practice (Hands-on Activity) (40 minutes)


 Students wear full PPE.
 Each student practices setting up and performing a basic weld bead under supervision.
 Instructor circulates to provide guidance and corrections.

5. Evaluation & Feedback (20 minutes)


 Observe students’ technique and weld quality.
 Ask oral questions or give a short written quiz:
 - What are the parts of an MMA welding setup?
 - Name three PPE items and their purpose.
 - What problems occur if the arc length is too long?

Assessment Methods:
 Observation during practical
 Short quiz or Q&A
 Student self-reflection or peer feedback

Safety Note:
Reinforce safety throughout — incorrect technique or missing PPE can result in serious
injury.
