建设

焊接 is instrumental to the success of a construction project. Not only is it a handy repair tool for broken and damaged machine parts, it is the mainstay of production supplying any construction endeavor with the required raw materials to progress at the desired pace.

It is undertaken by skilled operators and has to be performed according to pre-defined mandates and a set of compliance rules in order to ensure that the joints are strong and immune to jostling and rust.

制造

焊接 fabrication is the building of metal structures by cutting, bending, and assembling 流程. It is also a value added process that involves the construction of machines and structures from various raw materials.

维护

焊接 in maintenance jobs is using light to heavy welding to repair equipment, machinery, or buildings and facilities.

管道

Plan, lay-out, weld, install test and repair all types of pipe and similar tubular products in accordance with all applicable plans, specifications, codes, and industry 标准. Work in other crafts at levels appropriate to training and skills as requested by supervision.

行业

焊接 for different companies such as auto repair, trailer manufacturing, aerospace, and countless others.

Private business

Welders can have their own private welding businesses for repairing, creating, or manufacturing projects, ranging from artistic to contract work.
