Welders permanently join pieces of metal through welding processes, of which there are many – over 70 to be precise. In addition to fusing metals, welders also repair metal parts, as well as grind and solder materials.
Their duties vary depending on where they work and what they specialize in, but welders are usually responsible for some or all of the following: following blueprints and specifications; using manual or semi-automatic equipment to attach metals; operate flame-cutting, brazing, and soldering equipment; and using metal-shaping machinery. Because they’re constantly exposed to chemicals, fuels, and machinery, welders must be cautious and follow safety procedures at all times.
Welders can have a variety of specialties, including: structural construction, shipbuilding and repair, machinery and repair, and custom fabrication of tools and products. They can also focus on welding aerospace and/or pressure vessels and pipelines.
