Select Tasks Help | |||||
Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits. | Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications. | Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment. | |||
Weld separately or in combination, using aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys. | Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart specifications or types and thicknesses of metals. | Ignite torches or start power supplies and strike arcs by touching electrodes to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits. | |||
Connect and turn regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that desired flames are obtained. | Determine required equipment and welding methods, applying knowledge of metallurgy, geometry, and welding techniques. | Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material. | |||
Mark or tag material with proper job number, piece marks, and other identifying marks as required. | Chip or grind off excess weld, slag, or spatter, using hand scrapers or power chippers, portable grinders, or arc-cutting equipment. | Prepare all material surfaces to be welded, ensuring that there is no loose or thick scale, slag, rust, moisture, grease, or other foreign matter. | |||
Preheat workpieces prior to welding or bending, using torches or heating furnaces. | Align and clamp workpieces together, using rules, squares, or hand tools, or position items in fixtures, jigs, or vises. | Develop templates and models for welding projects, using mathematical calculations based on blueprint information. | |||
Guide and direct flames or electrodes on or across workpieces to straighten, bend, melt, or build up metal. | Position and secure workpieces, using hoists, cranes, wire, and banding machines or hand tools. | Detect faulty operation of equipment or defective materials and notify supervisors. | |||
Clean or degrease parts, using wire brushes, portable grinders, or chemical baths. | Melt and apply solder along adjoining edges of workpieces to solder joints, using soldering irons, gas torches, or electric-ultrasonic equipment. | Grind, cut, buff, or bend edges of workpieces to be joined to ensure snug fit, using power grinders and hand tools. | |||
Repair products by dismantling, straightening, reshaping, and reassembling parts, using cutting torches, straightening presses, and hand tools. | Check grooves, angles, or gap allowances, using micrometers, calipers, and precision measuring instruments. | Operate metal shaping, straightening, and bending machines, such as brakes and shears. | |||
Set up and use ladders and scaffolding as necessary to complete work. | Hammer out bulges or bends in metal workpieces. | Melt and apply solder to fill holes, indentations, or seams of fabricated metal products, using soldering equipment. | |||
Use fire suppression methods in industrial emergencies. | Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout, assembly, and operations. | ||||
