Hard Skills
IntermediateResistance Spot Welding OperationThe ability to operate hand-held or stationary resistance welding machines to join metal parts through the application of pressure and electric current.
IntermediateTechnical Drawing InterpretationReading and interpreting engineering blueprints and weld symbols to determine the exact location and number of welds required for a specific assembly.
IntermediateQuality Control InspectionPerforming visual inspections and physical tests, such as chisel tests or peel tests, to ensure weld nuggets meet size and strength standards.
FoundationalElectrode MaintenanceThe practice of cleaning, dressing, and replacing copper electrodes to maintain optimal conductivity and weld consistency.
FoundationalMaterial PreparationPreparing metal surfaces by removing oils, oxides, or coatings that might interfere with electrical resistance during the welding process.
