2. Orbital welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_welding

   Orbital welding is a specialized area of welding whereby the arc is rotated mechanically through 360° (180 degrees in double up welding) around a static workpiece, an object such as a pipe, in a continuous process.

3. List of metalworking occupations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metalworking...

   Technology in general, and automation in particular, tends to exert pressure against laborer-type job creation, with the lowest-skilled positions being most at risk. For example, so-called labor gangs, groups of men assigned to shoveling or other manual tasks, are not employed nearly as much as they used to be, especially in developed economies.

4. Vibration welding of thermoplastics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_Welding_of...

   Vibration welding is often used for larger applications where the parts to be joined have relatively flat seams, although the process can accommodate some out of plane curvature. Recently, the automotive industry has made extensive use of the process to produce parts like manifolds and lighting assemblies whose complex geometries prevent single ...

5. Friction welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_welding

   Friction welding (FWR) is a solid-state welding and bonding process that generates heat through mechanical friction between workpieces in relative motion to one another. The process is used with the addition of a lateral force called "upset" to plastically displace and fuse the materials. [1]

6. Steelworker (United States Navy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelworker_(United_States...

   A United States Navy Steelworker welding a seam. Steelworker (abbreviated as SW) is a United States Navy occupational rating.. Steelworkers perform tasks directly related to fabrication and erection of pre-engineered structures, including steel reinforcement; control job site deployment of materials and equipment; direct and coordinate the composition, training and efforts of crews who ...

7. Underwater cutting and welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_cutting_and_welding

   Oxygen arc cutting and arc welding underwater requires greater skill and stamina than working in a dry and stable environment. The underwater environment imposes several limitations and restrictions on both the equipment and the operator, and the restriction of short bottom times at greater depths for surface-oriented divers makes efficient working important to getting the job done in a ...
