$24 The Weld Department utilizes MIG welding and is a critical part of the manufacturing process for generator enclosure fuel tanks and assemblies that support large-scale generators. Welders perform both continuous and stitch welding on 10-gauge mild steel that is up to 1/4" thick while building assigned assemblies from blueprints, drawings, and work instructions. Because these tanks contain diesel fuel, weld quality is essential to prevent leaks and ensure structural integrity. After fabrication, tanks are pressure tested to 3 PSI and vacuum tested to verify there are no leaks, weak points, or weld defects. The role also involves crane and ladder work during fabrication and assembly processes. Proper welding and testing procedures are essential to product reliability, environmental safety, and overall equipment performance. We typically weld at 25 volts with a wire speed between 500-550 with consistent welds to successfully pass pressure and vacuum testing without leaks. This is not the only type of welding performed in the Weld Department. Welders are also expected to complete 1G (horizontal) and 3G (vertical) welding applications.
