WELDER
Welds metal parts, using welding equipment as specified by layout, welding diagram, or work order. Selects torch, torch tip, filler rod and flux, according to specifications or type and thickness of metal. Connects regulator valves and hoses to oxygen and fuel gas cylinders, and welding torch. Welds along vertical, horizontal and overhead weld lines. Cleans or degrease parts, using wire brush, portable grinders or air arc.

     GTAW Welding
     Gas Tungsten Arc Welding is frequently referred to as TIG Welding. In TIG Welding an arc is formed between a nonconsumable tungsten electrode and the metal being welded. Gas is fed through the torch to shield the electrode and molten weld pool.

     MIG Welding
     Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is frequently referred to as MIG welding. Wire is continuously fed from a spool. MIG welding is therefore referred to as a semiautomatic welding process.

     Flux Cored Welding
     Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) is frequently referred to as flux cored welding. Flux cored welding adds the benefit of flux to the welding simplicity of MIG welding. Wire is continuously fed from a spool.

Stick Welding

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is frequently referred to as stick or covered electrode welding. The flux covering the electrode melts during welding. This forms the gas and slag to shield the arc and molten weld pool.
