Welders perform tack, fillet, and full penetration welding on steel foundations and structural joints in production on aircraft carriers and submarines. This is done using various welding processes, including SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding), GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), and GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding). These welds are made using both manual and mechanized processes to satisfy all nondestructive test requirements (visual inspection, magnetic particle inspection, ultrasonic inspection, radiographic inspection).
Welders at NNS attend and become qualified through the shipyard's state of the art welding school. Once qualified, welders use a wide range of welding filler metals and welding processes to perform structural welds in all phases of ship construction. Welders will also receive additional training including certified visual inspection, fire watch, carbon arcing, and troubleshooting minor welding equipment problems.
