5 Beginner Mistakes To Avoid As An Aviation
Welding Technician
2
Aviation welding isnt an easy job. It requires
precision and accuracy in order to assure the
safety of the aircraft. In order to make sure
that you dont risk your life while welding, you
need to avoid committing these 5 common mistakes
beginner aviation welders tend to commit.
Introduction
3
If you are an aviation welder, its your daily
job to deal with fire, heat, flashes, burns,
lifting heavy weight and work under uncomfortable
working conditions. If you dont wear the
adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),
your safety will be jeopardized.
Not wearing proper PPE

There are many welding processes that a welder
can choose from. It depends on which type of
welding job he needs to do and which component of
an aircraft he is about to weld. If he chooses
the wrong welding process before confirming its
effectivity in a certain situation, it can be a
costly mistake.
Going for the wrong process
5
In order to execute a precise and perfect welding
job, an aviation welder has to be in a
comfortable mind set and physical condition. If
the welder is uncomfortable, the chances of a
successful welding procedure will be minimal. You
have to make sure you are comfortable both
physically and mentally.
Not making himself comfortable
6
The preparation of the base metal is something on
which the entire welding procedure depends
mainly. The welders must pay adequate attention
to this phase of the process, otherwise the
entire process will fail. You must not hassle
through this step to make sure you dont ruin the
welding procedure.
Less prepared base material
7
Aviation welding is a job that does not allow you
to give up easily. Welders, especially at the
start of their careers, give up on a certain
welding procedure after they face a failure in
completing it successfully. This must not be the
case if you want to become an expert aviation
welding technician.
Giving up too early
