• Melt and apply solder along adjoining edges of workpieces to solder joints, using soldering irons, gas torches, or electric-ultrasonic equipment.
• Examine seams for defects and rework defective joints or broken parts.
• Melt and separate brazed or soldered joints to remove and straighten damaged or misaligned components, using hand torches, irons, or furnaces.
• Melt and apply solder to fill holes, indentations, or seams of fabricated metal products, using soldering equipment.
• Clean workpieces to remove dirt or excess acid, using chemical solutions, files, wire brushes, or grinders.
• Guide torches and rods along joints of workpieces to heat them to brazing temperature, melt braze alloys, and bond workpieces together.
• Adjust electric current and timing cycles of resistance welding machines to heat metals to bonding temperature.
• Clean equipment parts, such as tips of soldering irons, using chemical solutions, or cleaning compounds.
• Align and clamp workpieces together, using rules, squares, or hand tools, or position items in fixtures, jigs, or vises.
• Sweat together workpieces coated with solder.
• Smooth soldered areas with alternate strokes of paddles and torches, leaving soldered sections slightly higher than surrounding areas for later filing.
• Select torch tips, flux, and brazing alloys from data charts or work orders.
• Clean joints of workpieces with wire brushes or by dipping them into cleaning solutions.
• Grind, cut, buff, or bend edges of workpieces to be joined to ensure snug fit, using power grinders and hand tools.
• Cut carbon electrodes to specified sizes and shapes, using cutoff saws.
