What is a welder
A welder is someone who welds for a living; welding is a craft in which pieces of material are joined together. Classically, welding has been accomplished in
metals, but modern welders also work with plastics. The term “welder” is also used to describe equipment used in the process of welding; some people use the
term “weldor” to talk about someone who welds so that the distinction is clear.
Welding is an ancient profession. People have been working with metals for thousands of years, and metalworking is such an important part of human life that
archaeologists even use the working of various metals to describe eras in human history like the Bronze and Iron Ages. Classically, welding has been
accomplished with the use of heat to melt the metals before joining them together; modern welding includes an assortment of other techniques for joining
material, including electricity in arc welding and ultrasound, which is used to join many plastics.
Many welders work in heavy industry, since welding is a crucial stage in the construction of things like cars, trains, and ships, along with industrial equipment.
Welders can also work in lighter industry, or as freelance contractors who fix various metal objects. The construction industry also employs a lot of welders, as
many buildings use heavy duty metal framework to support themselves, and this framework must be assembled and secured by welders.
There are twobasicways to trainto be a welder.Some weldersattendtrade schoolswhichofferanywhere fromweekstoyears of trainingtostudents,dependingonhow
