Fluxcore Welders

• Weld Components in flat, vertical, and overhead positions. 
• Lay out, position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly, using straightedges, combination squares, calipers, and rulers.
• Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding. 
• Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart
• Ignite torches or start power supplies and strike arcs by touching electrodes to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits. 
• Connect and turn regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that desired flames are obtained. 
• Determine required equipment and welding methods, applying knowledge of metallurgy, geometry, and welding techniques. 
• Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material. 
• Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as  flux-cored arc 
• Chip or grind off excess weld, slag, or spatter, using hand scrapers or power chippers, portable grinders, or arc-cutting equipment. 
• Prepare all material surfaces to be welded, ensuring that there is no loose or thick scale, slag, rust, moisture, grease, or other foreign matter. 
• Preheat workpieces prior to welding or bending, using torches or heating furnaces. 
• Guide and direct flames or electrodes on or across workpieces to straighten, bend, melt, or build up metal. 
• Detect faulty operation of equipment or defective materials and notify supervisors. 
• Clean or degrease parts, using wire brushes, portable grinders, or chemical baths. 
• Cut, contour, and bevel metal plates and structural shapes to dimensions as specified by blueprints, layouts, work orders, and templates, using powered saws, hand shears, or chipping knives. 
• Repair products by dismantling, straightening, reshaping, and reassembling parts, using cutting torches, straightening presses, and hand tools. 
• Operate metal shaping, straightening, and bending machines, such as brakes and shears. 
• Set up and use ladders and scaffolding as necessary to complete work. 
• Hammer out bulges or bends in metal workpieces. 
• Dismantle metal assemblies or cut scrap metal, using thermal-cutting equipment, such as flame-cutting torches or plasma-arc equipment. 
• Gouge metals
