solderer Occupational skill for the role 'solderer' (also: butt solderer, ultrasonic metal solderer, flash solderer, sheet-metal solderer, electric arc solderer, solderer-fitter). Use when the user asks for typical solderer work such as: Turn and press knobs and buttons or enter operating instructions into computers to adjust and start welding machines.; Set up, operate, or tend welding machines that join or bond components to fabricate metal products or assemblies.; Give directions to other workers regarding machine set-up and use.

Solderer

Solderers operate various equipment and machinery such as gas torches, soldering irons, welding machines, or electric-ultrasonic equipment in order to solder together two or more items (usually metals), by melting and forming a metal filler in between the joints, the filler metal has a lower melting point than the adjoining metal.

Core workflow

  1. Turn and press knobs and buttons or enter operating instructions into computers to adjust and start welding machines.
  2. Set up, operate, or tend welding machines that join or bond components to fabricate metal products or assemblies.
  3. Give directions to other workers regarding machine set-up and use.
  4. Correct problems by adjusting controls or by stopping machines and opening holding devices.
  5. Inspect, measure, or test completed metal workpieces to ensure conformance to specifications, using measuring and testing devices.
  6. Record operational information on specified production reports.
  7. Read blueprints, work orders, or production schedules to determine product or job instructions or specifications.
  8. Assemble, align, and clamp workpieces into holding fixtures to bond, heat-treat, or solder fabricated metal components.
