How do they match: Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers

  • Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers

  • Use hand-welding, flame-cutting, hand-soldering, or brazing equipment to weld or join metal components or to fill holes, indentations, or seams of fabricated metal products.

  • Use fire suppression methods in industrial emergencies.
  • Align and clamp workpieces together, using rules, squares, or hand tools, or position items in fixtures, jigs, or vises.
  • Check grooves, angles, or gap allowances, using micrometers, calipers, and precision measuring instruments.
  • Chip or grind off excess weld, slag, or spatter, using hand scrapers or power chippers, portable grinders, or arc-cutting equipment.
  • Clean or degrease parts, using wire brushes, portable grinders, or chemical baths.
  • Develop templates and models for welding projects, using mathematical calculations based on blueprint information.
  • Grind, cut, buff, or bend edges of workpieces to be joined to ensure snug fit, using power grinders and hand tools.
  • Melt and apply solder along adjoining edges of workpieces to solder joints, using soldering irons, gas torches, or electric-ultrasonic equipment.
  • Melt and apply solder to fill holes, indentations, or seams of fabricated metal products, using soldering equipment.
  • Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits.
  • Position and secure workpieces, using hoists, cranes, wire, and banding machines or hand tools.
  • Preheat workpieces prior to welding or bending, using torches or heating furnaces.
  • Repair products by dismantling, straightening, reshaping, and reassembling parts, using cutting torches, straightening presses, and hand tools.
  • Set up and use ladders and scaffolding as necessary to complete work.
  • Weld separately or in combination, using aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys.
