welder Feb 2005 – Jan 2006
Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits. Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions. Ignite torches or start power supplies and strike arcs by touching electrodes to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits.
Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.
Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.
Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.
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.
Lay out, position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly, using straightedges, combination squares, calipers, and rulers.
Chip or grind off excess weld, slag, or spatter, using hand scrapers or power chippers, portable grinders, or arc-cutting equipment.
Connect and turn regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that desired flames are obtained.
Weld separately or in combination, using aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys. Prepare all material surfaces to be welded, ensuring that there is no loose or thick scale, slag, rust, moisture, grease, or other foreign matter.
Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart specifications or types and thicknesses of metals.
Remove rough spots from workpieces, using portable grinders, hand files, or scrapers. Position and secure workpieces, using hoists, cranes, wire, and banding machines or hand tools. Clean or degrease parts, using wire brushes, portable grinders, or chemical baths. Dismantle metal assemblies or cut scrap metal, using thermal-cutting equipment such as flame-cutting torches or plasma-arc equipment.
Gouge metals, using the air-arc gouging process.
Guide and direct flames or electrodes on or across workpieces to straighten, bend, melt, or build up metal. Preheat workpieces prior to welding or bending, using torches or heating furnaces. Melt lead bars, wire, or scrap to add lead to joints or to extrude melted scrap into reusable form. Set up and use ladders and scaffolding as necessary to complete work. Hammer out bulges or bends in metal workpieces.
