The welder performs some of the following tasks:.
Read and interpret diagrams or welding process specifications
Operation of manual or semi-automatic welding equipment for joining metal parts using processes such as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), metal gas arc welding (GMAW), flowing arc welding (FCAW), plasma arc welding (PAW), and shielded metals. Arc welding (SMAW), oxygen and acetylene welding (OAW), resistance welding and submerged arc welding (SAW)
Operation of manual or semi-automatic flame cutting equipment
Operation of welding and welding equipment
Operation of metal forming machines such as brakes, Shears and other metal straightening and bending machines
Repair worn parts of metal products by welding on additional seams.
Welders may specialize in certain types of welding such as custom manufacturing, shipbuilding and repair, aerospace precision welding, pressure vessel welding, pipeline construction welding, structural construction welding, or machinery and equipment repair welding.
Welding and brazing machine operators perform some or all of the following tasks:
Operation of pre-prepared welding machines such as spot, butt and seam resistance or gas and arc welding machines for machining or repairing metal parts
Operation of welding or welding machines prepared in advance for joining metal parts or for filling holes, indentations and seams of metal materials with welding
Start, stop, adjust and control the automated welding production line
Assistance in maintenance and repair of welding and brazing equipment
Welding heads and tools can be adjusted according to the working specifications.
