Beginner in welding techniques

Welding currently pays around 5,000; it only becomes more valuable if you can also do design work. Just doing welding doesn’t pay much, as there’s not much work involved.

One can take a path that combines practice with theory: obtain a certification as a qualified instructor and work as a teacher at a welding testing institution

The welding process, to put it bluntly, is something required by the manufacturing specifications: a weld sequence number is assigned, non-destructive testing and welding inspections are carried out, and inspection reports are prepared – but having such a number doesn’t really serve any useful purpose. In actual welding in the workshop, with some common materials, there’s no need to look at anything at all. Wait, we’ve encountered some materials that are difficult to weld; defects and cracks have appeared, and their mechanical properties do not meet the requirements. We’ll have to turn to you again – can you solve this problem? It would be great if you could. That’s the situation: when conditions permit, it’s necessary to combine theory with practice and let facts speak for themselves.

Hello, is there any requirement regarding the number of years of experience for the welding responsibility engineer?

Citing the requirements of the China Chemical Equipment Industry Association: “1. For welding responsibility engineers in Class A1 and A6 manufacturing units, such positions must be filled by individuals who work within the organization in areas related to pressure vessels or technical management, and who possess a bachelor’s degree or higher in a welding-related field (such as materials or mechanical engineering), as well as a senior engineer title or higher.” 2. For manufacturing units at levels A2, A3, C1, and C2, the welding responsibility engineer must be a person who works within the unit in areas related to pressure vessels or technical management, and who possesses an undergraduate degree or higher in a welding-related field (such as materials or mechanical engineering), as well as an engineering title or higher. 3. For manufacturing units at grades A5 and C3, the welding responsibility engineer must be a person who works within the unit in pressure vessel technology or technical management, possesses an educational background in welding-related fields (such as materials or mechanical engineering), and holds an engineering title or higher. 4. For manufacturing units of Class A4 and D, the welding responsibility engineer must be a person who works within the unit in pressure vessel technology or technical management, possesses an educational background in welding-related fields (such as materials or mechanical engineering), and holds a technical title of assistant engineer or higher. 5. The welding responsibility engineer at Class B manufacturing units must be a person who works within the unit in pressure vessel technology or technical management, possesses an educational background in welding, metal materials, or related mechanical fields, and holds a title of assistant engineer or higher. 6. In the absence of the corresponding engineering technical title, one must possess the appropriate academic qualification in science or engineering along with the required number of years of work experience in this field, in accordance with Table 2-1 in TSG 07-2019 \"Rules for Licensing Production and Filling Units of Special Equipment\". ”

Hello, I just checked – to take the exam for assistant engineer, one needs at least three years of work experience after completing an associate degree. Are the engineering and technical titles awarded through evaluation or through standardized exams?

Engineer titles are evaluated on an annual basis, right? I’ve never heard of any unified exams, but it’s possible that there are differences from place to place. It’s a good idea to check the websites of the industry and information technology commissions in various regions from time to time

Okay, thank you for your reply:handshake
