Construction, Commercial equipment and Industrial
apparatus. From
its ancient roots until today, the science and art
of welding has served well both the artisan who
mastered the skill and the culture in which the
craftsman
practiced and applied this skills. The
skill of welding, over the centuries, has evolved
from the basic forge welding process to encompass
over
80 different welding
processes
including plasma, electron-beam and state of the
art lasers. although the definitation and purpose
for welding has remained the same, the equipment,
the configuration, the methods, techniques and
procedures has changed tremendously. These welding
processes range from simple to complex. Even the
application of many of these welding process range
from manual to semi-automatic, automatic,
automated, computrized and so on. However, the
successful application of any given welding process
depends mainly on the welding operators
understanding and command of the
PROCESS
VARIABLES.
Welding
can be defined as a metal
- joining - process
by the use of heat to cause coalescence
between two or more pieces of metal. It may be
performed with or without the use of a
filler
metal
and with or without the application of
pressure.

Welding
is a job skill
*
used within many
trades
to manufacture, construct, produce, fabricate and /
or repair objects of metal.

The
skill of welding is very diverse and covers a wide
range of competency types and skill
levels
such as entry-level, apprentice, journeymen,
welding technician, certified welder, production
welder, fabricator, welder fitter, pipe fitter /
steam fitter,
welding

The
skill of welding is principally learned through
welder training and certification
programs run by
Vocational
Technical High
Schools
- Private
Trade Schools
- Community Colleges - Career & Technical
Centers - The

- Company

Programs
and Trade
Union or Apprenticeship Programs.

WELDING,
an Ancient Craft
(Gen.4:22).
Through
historical artifacts, the science and art of
welding can be traced back a very long way. The
tools, techniques the applications and methods have
changed tremendously, however, the purposeful
function has basically remained the
same.

It
is believed, by some, that welding was successfully
applied by the ancient metallurgist
to first craft
jewelry
and utensils. The applications was later extended
to become a major factor in the manufacture,
production and repair of tools and
weapons.
Today, welding is a critical force in our

and
commerce.

A
weld is a homogeneous
bond between two or more pieces of metal, wherein,
the strength of the welded joint equals or exceeds
the strength of the original base metal
*
*;
this is accomplished in part by controlling the
Welding
Process
Variables
and the elimination of welding
defects.
