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. We are all nearby some type of structural iron and steel working every day not even realizing it without taking a second look. Welders themselves mostly do not think nothing about the

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.

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.

Tomorrows Welders Thomas Jefferson said, “I find that the harder I work, the less I call it work”. 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
Welding “How many welders does it take to change a light bulb? None. Welders are not afraid of the dark” (“Welder Jokes”). Welders spend the majority of their time looking at their world though a very small, very dark lense. It is through this lense that a welder is able to do his job and create products that keep our world moving forward. Without welders our world as we know it would fall apart. Welders experience stress, hard work, and long hours of the day steadily working to keep our world
