New Mexico Welding Fabrication 2019
State Welding Fabrication Competitors:
We are excited and proud to have each and every one of you participate in the SkillsUSA State
Competition. Thank-you for showcasing your skills and supporting the welding trade.
Purpose:
The purpose of the Welding Fabrication contest is to evaluate each contestant’s preparation for
employment and to recognize outstanding contestants for excellence and professionalism in the field of
welding fabrication.
Scope:
The scope of this contest is defined by industry standards. All blueprints, welding symbols, and welding
terms must conform to the latest edition of the American Welding Society (AWS) standards.
This year we will be trying something new, following the National SkillsUSA Welding Fabrication event
from 2018. There will be a standard project provided to all competitors. Information is provided in
advance so your team can start to prepare. Your team will have 4 hours to complete fabrication of the
project. Your team & project will be judged throughout your 4 hours.
The project your team will build will be donated to a local non-profit. Welding Fabrication has chosen to
support a few New Mexico Domestic Violence Shelters by providing outside seating. This seating will
allow for the families and individuals to have a place outside where they can eat and sit during their stay
at the shelter.
In addition, teams will still be required to brainstorm and design a project. A project theme will be
provided with guidelines. Prints for this project theme will be required and graded as they have been in
the past as part of your overall grade. The project your team will design is a coin bank. The coin bank will
NOT be fabricated during the contest.
Knowledge Performance:
The contest will include a written knowledge exam that assess the practical knowledge of welding,
safety, measurement and blueprint reading. Other common fabrication operations may also be assessed
such as fit-up, OFC, grinding, and material handling.
The team’s interview will be conducted before the fabrication time. Please see schedule for specific
time.

Eligibility:
Open to active SkillsUSA members enrolled in programs with welding as the occupational objective. This
is a team event and each team will be comprised of three people. They must be student members from
the same school and training program and one alternate must be selected for each team.
General Rules:
All welds and OFC cuts shall be left in the ‘as welded’ or ‘as-cut’ condition. This means no grinding of
welds or OFC cuts. A grinder/wire wheel may be used to prep the project for welding. Weldments are to
include the following three processes: SMAW, GMAW (short circuit), and GTAW. Each team must show
one vertical up weld for each of the three welding processes. In-process inspection during fabrication
will be performed by the Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) team appointed by the SkillsUSA welding
fabrication chairperson.
Safety and Clothing Requirements:
Each contestant must wear the following items during the entirety of the competition: coveralls or work
shirt and pants, leather work boots, and ANSI Z87 approved safety glasses with side shields. Prescription
glasses with side shields may be used only if they are ANSI Z87 approved and marked. If not, the
prescription glasses must be covered with safety glasses. Contestants shall NOT have any identification
(showing name, school, or anything indicating where they are from) except for conference badge with
contestant number assigned.
The following criteria must also be met during fabrication time:
Face shields must be worn while grinding or using a wire wheel
Oxyacetylene goggle or appropriately shaded shields must be worn while cutting
Welding jackets must be worn while welding
Safety glasses must be worn at all times
Hearing protection must be worn at all times
Grinding must be conducted outside with special attention to the direction of the spark stream.
Appropriately shaded welding helmets must be worn during welding.
Points will be deducted for each safety violation. Your team will be given 2 warnings before
disqualification.

Drawing Theme: Coin Bank
Please note: Prints of your design must be ready to turn in at orientation (see items supplied by teams.)
The Welding Fabrication Competition for New Mexico SkillsUSA will have a theme of a “Coin Bank”. Your
design must use 95% of the materials listed on the bill of materials (listed below). Assembly blueprints
are required to have the proper dimensions, welding symbols, weld dimensions, top views, side views,
and front views.
Design Requirements:
Use Bill of Materials provided below
One opening for coin input
One opening for coin retrieval
Welded via SMAW, GTAW , GMAW, and OFC
Blueprint requirements:
All prints must be created by the team members.
Two sets of prints on 11” X 17” paper printed in Landscape mode.
o One will be used for grading
o Second will be needed for a backup.
o Prints may be hand drawn or produced using a CAD program.
No bindings or covers
Do NOT roll up paper copies
Title block in the lower right hand corner with your Team #, Project Title, and date.
o No school name or identifying marks on the print.
You must include overall dimensions of the finished product and each component’s dimensions
for fabrication.
Bill of Materials table must include quantities, names and material type of each component
used for the assembly.
All welds/cuts must have the appropriate weld symbols included to show where the required
welds, the weld processes and the weld orientation to be used on the parts. All weld symbols
must follow the guidelines established by the American Welding Society.
Coin Bank Bill of Materials:

Fabrication Project : Bench
The materials will be on site and cut to pre-determined lengths. The contestants must fabricate the
project according to the provided blueprint and completed in the four-hour time frame given. Drawing
detail can be found at the end of this document.
Guidelines for Fabrication Project:
Material List Supplied by Committee:
Welding Consumables Supplied by Committee:
Minimum Weld Observations Project Requirement:
o 1 Individual SMAW Welds of 1” or greater in 3F vertical position
o 1 Individual GMAW Welds of 1” or greater in 3F vertical position
o 1 Individual GTAW Welds of 1” or greater in 3F vertical position

Contest Guidelines:
Each team must comply with and be aware of the following guidelines:
1. Use of cells phones is not permitted. No exceptions. If a calculator is needed, a calculator (no
cell phone) may be used.
2. Contestants must correctly use the welding equipment during the contest. The contest chairman
and contest coordinator may stop a contestant at any section of the contest if they deem a
contestant’s manner to be hazardous to either themselves or others. Such a stoppage shall
disqualify the participant for that section of the contest. If the contestant is warned a second
time, he/she will be disqualified as a contest participant.
3. While the contest is in progress, there shall be no communication between contestants on other
teams or observers. Contestants may direct questions or concerns to the judges, contest
coordinator, or contest chair. It is expected that team members will communicate with each
other.
4. A time limit on the contest has been established to a 4 hour fabrication time. Points will be
deducted from the team score if the team takes more that the allotted 4 hours.
5. Welding equipment used in the contest may be obtained from a variety of manufacturers and
may include transformers, rectifiers and/or inverter.
6. Filler metals shall be compatible with the metals being welded and will be detailed on the
contest procedure sheet. Instruction to the contestant will define more specifically the filler
metals that may be used.
7. Welds will be evaluated visually utilizing a rating system as established by the SkillsUSA
Technical committee. Nondestructive and/or destructive tests may be used to complete the
project evaluation.
8. Final judging of the welded projects will be evaluated according to the difficulty of the assigned
task and by utilizing the following visual inspection criterial: weld appearance, dimensional
accuracy, distortion, and conformity to the blueprint requirements.
9. A team photo will be taken following the completion of the interviews. Additional photos will be
taken by an assigned photographer. The photos will be available for viewing during the
competition for all interested supporters. Following the competition, photos will be sent to your
team’s advisor.
