have happened without the arts and tools created by welders around the world. Wars, cities, nations, and even continents all evolved and became bigger, better, and stronger because of the creation of welding. The smallest and the biggest structures on earth have all been touched or designed by welders across the world.

use for daily travel. Welders build houses, hospitals, buildings and other constructions that we use daily. In conclusion, welders are essential to building the needs and wants of everyday life. Without welders, houses would be feeble, and less likely to withstand the sever elements of nature. Ship, cars, buses, airplanes and other forms of transportation including bicycles would fail to exist. Even the roads and bridges we travel only daily would be none prevailing. Welders also help protect the
metals together by using heat(“Welders,Cutters,Solderers,and Brazers”). Many people do not realize without welding the world would not have a lot of the things that it has today(Bemont,Reno). Vehicles people drive every day would not be there. Which would result a person having to walk to travel. “A regular person cannot just wake up and want to be a welder. It takes skills and determination to be a good welder. Most people that have their mind set to be a welder usually go to a institution and
Welders do the job of cutting, fitting, and welding plates or pipes and structures for a variety of industries. Currently, there is a shortage of welders in the United States.

Some varieties of welding can be done indoors or outdoors, depending on the process selected by the welder for that specific job. The work day and work hours
A welder fabricates, assembles, and deconstructs metal structures such as windmills, buildings, boats,etc. There are various types of equipment used in this profession that deconstruct and fabricates marvelous structures. Welders, welding rods, grinders, plasma cutters, shapers, and measuring tools all play a huge part in this hardworking profession. There are also multiple types of welding,(Arc welding, Electroslag welding, Flux-cored welding, Gas Metal Arc welding, Gas Tungsten-Arc welding, MIG

I chose that I would become a welder because I love to work with my hands and there is something about the whole process of welding and melting metal together to make a finished product that gives me satisfaction. This is a trade and a skill that will be around until there is no metal left on this earth.

The Life of a Welder I was introduced to welding by my father, he was trying to prepare me for my first year of ag mechanics at my high school. My father had me start with flux core which is a gasless wire to weld with, it’s one of the more difficult ways to wire weld. There for awhile I was getting very frustrated with my welding because I'm very competitive when it comes to doing something.

I have often found myself in situations where I needed to fix something but could not because it is metal. I believe this might be why I began to show interest in welding. There is great satisfaction in being able to create or fix a metal object on your own. As a Certified Welder, I will be able to combine my hardworking drive with my personal interest in metal working to be a successful welder. This paper
Welders, Cutters, Solderers and Brazers all have one thing in common. They all have to deal with using hand-held or remotely controlled equipment to join or cut metal pieces. They also fill holes, indentations, or seams of metal products. Welders, cutters, solderers and brazers are often exposed to many hazardous environments, this usually includes being exposed to the very hot materials and the fierce light created by the arc. Although these jobs have their similarities, they also many differences

something. Both my welding and machining can be used to create very complex parts requiring a lot of thinking and this is why I have choose to open a job shop. I have had a job in the welding industry at a coal mine for the past two summers as a shop welder fabricator with a slight amount of machining involved. This was very monotonous and repetitive work. I knew from day to day what I was going to be doing at work. At this job I also worked a 28 day rotating schedule, which in turn meant that I was
allows the welder to create a flowing current passing through the electrode and the metal that the welder is wanting to fuse together. Electrodes can come in many different sizes and with different types of flux. The flux is the protective coating that is around the welding rod protecting the weld as it is being melted to the metal. There are a few different ways to learn welding. High schools

is where the welder works partially or fully inside of a habitat in a dry or semi-dry environment. Wet welding is welding in the water directly surrounding the welding site in a wet environment. Dry welding has its advantages as well as disadvantages. Some of the advantages for dry welding include; better safety for the diver/welder, you have better quality welds, and surface monitoring. The disadvantages of dry welding is that it is more expensive rather than wet welding. Welders who are dry welding

Some techniques of welding started a thousand years ago, it was not till 1800 modern welding started (“Welders”173).
