Welding is the only way to join metals.13Read the text What is welding and what do welders do? Check youranswers in the previous exercise. Prove or correct the statements.What is welding and what do welders do?Welding is the most economical and efficient way to join metalspermanently. It is the only way of joining two or more pieces of metal tomake them act as a single piece. Welding is vital to our economy. It is oftensaid that over 50 % of the gross national product of the U.S.A.

is related towelding in one way or another. Welding ranks highamong industrial processes and involves more sciencesand variables than those involved in any other industrialprocess. There are many ways to make a weld and manydifferent kinds of welds. Some processes cause sparksand others do not even require extra heat. Welding canbe done anywhere… outdoors or indoors, underwater and in outer space.Nearly everything we use in our daily life is welded or made byequipment that is welded.

Welders help build metal products from coffeepotsto skyscrapers. They help build space vehicles and millions of other productsranging from oil drilling rigs to automobiles. In construction, welders arevirtually rebuilding the world, extending subways, building bridges, andhelping to improve the environment by building pollution control devices.9The use of welding is practically unlimited. There is no lack of variety of thetype of work that is done.Welders are employed in many industry groups.

Machinerymanufacturers are responsible for agricultural, construction, and miningmachinery. They are also involved in bulldozers, cranes,material handling equipment, food-processing machinery,papermaking and printing equipment, textiles, and officemachinery.The fabricated metals products compiles anothergroup including manufacturers of pressure vessels, heatexchangers, tanks, sheet metal, prefabricated metal buildings andarchitectural and ornamental work. Transportation is divided into two majorgroups: manufacturers of transportation equipment except motor vehicles;and motor vehicles and equipment. The first includes shipbuilding, aircraft,spacecraft, and railroads. The second includes automobiles, trucks, buses,trailers, and associated equipment.A small group of welders belongs to the group ofrepair services. This includes maintenance and repair onautomobiles or refers to the welding performed onindustrial and electrical machinery to repair worn parts.The mining, oil extraction, and gas extraction industriesform yet another group.

A large portion of the workinvolves drilling and extracting oil and gas or mining of ores, stone, sand andgravel.Welders are also employed in the primary metalsindustries to include steel mills, iron and steel foundries,smelting and refining plants. Much of this work is maintenanceand repair of facilities and equipment.

Another group is theelectrical and electronic equipment companies. Welding doneby this group runs from work on electric generators, batterychargers, to household appliances.Public administration employs welders to performmaintenance welding that is done on utilities, bridges,government armories and bases, etc. Yet another groupinvolves wholesale and retail establishments. These would include auto andagricultural equipment dealerships, metal service centers, and scrap yards.Probably the smallest group of welders, but perhaps those with thebiggest impact on the public are the artist and sculptors.

The St. Louis Arch ispossibly one of the best known. But there are many other fountains andsculptures in cities and neighborhoods around the world.1014Find the English equivalents for the following words and wordcombinations.Валовой национальный продукт, на открытом воздухе, в помещении,космический корабль, горное оборудование, изношенные детали,домашние принадлежности.15Complete the following sentences with the information from the text.1.

Those with the ability to work with high-technology weldingapplications may have better employment opportunities. The bulk ofemployment opportunities can be in the non-electrical, machinery,construction and metal-fabricating industries. Some workers will becomeself-employed.What is the Wage Rate for Welders?As an apprentice you would start at a wage rate less than that of ajourneyperson. This rate increases gradually as you gain competency. Thewage range for fully qualified welders according to the Peel Halton DufferinHRDC Wage Book is between $9.50/hr to $16.18/hr, with a median salary of$12.50/hr.Vocabularyjourneyman (person)apprenticeplate workingнаемный квалифицированный рабочийученикобработка листового металлаSpeaking21Complete the sentences to speak about your country.To become aWelder you should complete …Training (apprenticeship) could take …Upon successful completion of the training, you will receive …Most welders work (full-time/ part-time/ in shift work/ indoors/ outdoors/self-employed)As an apprentice you would start at a wage rate of …The wage range for fully qualified welders is …13Reading 322Imagine you are choosing a welding course.
