An industrial welder is considered as a mechanical trader employee who are responsible for joining the metal fragments together by providing heat. An enduring bond is established among the fragments of the metal parts when the metal is smelted and fused together. Industrial welders practice remotely controlled or hand-held apparatus to join and change the parts of the metal. In totalling, the industrial welders also seal the holes, level out depressions, and fill the cracks, if anything is identified while joining the metal parts.  

It is known that welding produces very strong connections, it is usually practiced in engineering industries such as shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, aerospace application and repair. The process of welding is also important for connecting the beams of the steel, while construction takes place in areas of bridges, buildings and other associated structures. Additionally, welding is considered to join pipes within the pipelines, refineries and power plants. Since, welding is an appealing option for the people who develop high interest in the areas of trading and working independently using their man-power skills.

The activity performed by the industrial welder vary from the requirements the company have for them and the total experience the welder have. The industrial welders are responsible for welding anything that is provide to them by the company they are working under. Before starting their welding job, the industrial welder need to carefully and completely study and authenticate the specifications, blueprints and sketches. Industrial welders may also need to calculate or compute the measurements of the parts of metal, which is supposed to get welded in the company by the welder.

Furthermore, the welder might examine and remove the additional pieces of metal prior their welding process. Once the welder have decided which method of welding they are going to use, they will explode the torch of the welding machine or they will start the power supply. The primary responsibility of the industrial welder is to monitor or carefully observe the process of welding and guarantee that the metal being used in the welding process is not overheated. After the welding process of the metal is completed, the welder will safely clean off or remove any surplus or splash. In few cases, it is observed that the welder might apply covering in order to protect the welded metal or they can also cover for decorative purposes. Industrial welders are highly responsible for conserving the welding machinery and equipment.

The primary responsibility of the industrial welder are as follows:

• Connecting the parts of the metal in overhead positions, flat or vertical
• Studying engineering blueprints, drawings, material security data  and sketches
• Calculating measurements of the metal parts that is considered to be joined or welded
• Laying out, aligning, positioning and safeguarding metal parts
• Reviewing work pieces for imperfections and inspecting for specifications
• Burning welding incinerates and striking curvatures
• Selecting welding approaches and required apparatus
• Washing welded excess metal off from the weld, spatter or slag
• Filling hammering or holes out of the bends and bulges
• Applying and mixing the protective coatings
• Maintaining machinery and equipment

The job of industrial welder is considered as a time consuming job as they have to work on few profound and time sensitive project, where they work for approximately 4 hours at a stretch or work under different shift timing depending on the company or organization. The regular salary of the welders is assumed to be approximately $36,720, which is considered as the pretty distinctive middle class welding job. However, there are few welding jobs that gives the salary of approximately $25,000 a year that is common for various entry-level position in welding job.
