A Solderer melts and applies solder along adjoining edges of workpieces to solder joints using a soldering iron, gas torch, or electric-ultrasonic equipment. Their role is to grind, cut, buff or bend edges of workpieces to be joined to ensure a snug fit, and hold parts together until the color indicates that the solder has set. Their responsibilities are to remove workpieces from molten solder, melt and separate soldered joints to repair misaligned or damaged assemblies, and apply flux to workpiece surfaces in preparation for soldering.
