The ability to stick weld is critical to the Boilermaker. It is done on mild steel and stainless alike and in all positions. Though less overall time is spent doing so, the boilermaker must also be able to heli-arc. Again, this is done on mild steel and stainless in all positions.
Some high-volume jobs will require the use of a "squirt gun".
A boilermaker's welds are regularly tested (at least during their apprenticeship) to assure quality of work. Many jobs are X-Ray tested making the perfection of each and every weld a must.

Is welding hard?
Welding, like any other skill, is one that requires practice. Once you know the basics and have a few hours of practice, you should be able to run a simple bead on an easy metal like steel with most arc welding processes. Wire welding is usually the easiest to learn. However, you shouldn't expect greatness after a few hours. Like most things, your welding skill will improve with practice.
What is the principle of tig welding?
Tungsten Inert Gas (orTIG) welding is also referred to as GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) and by the term Heliarc® which was the Linde Company's trade name for the TIG process when it was originally introduced.The welding arc is started with a sharply pointed tungsten electrode shielded by inert gas. A separate filler rod is fed manually into the weld puddle in much the same way as is done when gas welding.The process is well suited for aluminum.
What Precautions required in arc welding?
Safety is important when welding. Make sure you have protective clothing (jacket, no frayed pants, helmet with proper shade, steel toe boots if material falls, etc.) Make sure people around you know your welding! Eye surgery sucks! NO Flammable liquids! (lacquer thinner is great for cleaning dirty metal before welding, but causes really big flames if you don't wipe off with a simple green type cleaner) Know where to kill the power if you have a problem, and where the extinguishers are VENTILATION! Clean air, good, welding fumes not so good.
How do you weld a bike?
This depends mainly on three things. One is the thickness of the metal. Another is the kind of metal, and third is what type of joint you're welding. The easiest machine to use is a wire feed welder. If welding aluminum, be sure to use a spool gun or it will likely clog the lines. If you don't know what settings to use for the thickness and type of metal you are welding, it's a good idea to test it first on a scrap piece of similar type an thickness. Also, be sure to strength test the weld after it is completed especially if it is in a load bearing joint. If you are unfamiliar with the welding process, it's best to educate yourself on the process itself first before attempting to weld anything of value.

Flux core is a type of MIG welding.... please kind of know what your talking about before you ask a question.... Gas assisted solid mig wire welding is neater and cleaner. There are two types of flux core mig welding that you are talking about. 1. Gasless flux core mig wire 2. Shielded flux cored welding wire, uses a shielding gas as well. Most likely you are talking about the gasless mig wire. look here for more info: www.learn-how-to-weld.com/gasless-mig-wire.html
