Summary

Welding is a manufacturing or assembly process that is used to join materials such as metals and thermoplastics. Metals and thermoplastics are joined together by fusion of intersecting materials. Welding is a constantly evolving technology. The most commonly used welding processes in Canada are shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW). Furthermore, welding equipment and consumables are subject to strict safety regulations in Canada, including requirements for proper ventilation, eye and face protection, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Furthermore, the Canadian welding industry is also working to promote diversity and inclusion with initiatives such as the Women of Steel programme, which supports women in the welding trade. In addition, Canada's cold climate can pose challenges for welding, particularly when it comes to working outdoors or in unheated spaces. Welders must take precautions to ensure that their equipment and materials remain at the proper temperature to prevent defects and ensure quality.
