Welder: A Comprehensive Career Guide
Welding is the process of joining materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong joint. It's a fundamental skill used across countless industries, from constructing massive skyscrapers and bridges to assembling intricate components for aerospace vehicles and delicate medical devices.
