A career in welding. An infographic
Welding is the most common way of joining together metal parts into one unit by heating the surfaces to the point of melting. Various types of welding techniques (submerged arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding etc.) find use in a wide range of industries, from the automotive to the aerospace sector, including wire, rope, tube and sheet metal processing.
An interesting infographic by Oanh Nguyen explores different aspects related to a job in welding: why welding instead of riveting and bolting, what does a welder do, and how welding as a career will continue to move beyond the manufacturing line, offering opportunities in robotics, lasers and systems integration.
