solderer
Solderers operate various equipment and machinery such as gas torches, soldering irons, welding machines, or electric-ultrasonic equipment in order to solder together two or more items (usually metals), by melting and forming a metal filler in between the joints, the filler metal has a lower melting point than the adjoining metal.
Also called: sheet metal solderer, fitter-solderer, ultrasonic metal solderer, stitch solderer, robotic solderer, tack solderer, solderer-fitter, electric spot solderer
