Weld Inspection: Testing welded joints for defects using visual inspection or measuring tools to meet exact tolerances.
Selecting appropriate solid or flux-cored wire and gas ratios (e.g., Argon/CO₂ blends) based on the metal.
Adjusting machine settings like wire feed speed and voltage for rapid, high-volume production tasks.
Selecting the correct type and size of welding rod (stick) for the specific metal and thickness.
Chipping slag from the weld bead and brushing the surface clean between passes in harsh or outdoor settings.
