Some tedious and inefficient welding methods, such as gas welding, will gradually withdraw from the mainstream market and be eliminated by automatic welding and argon arc welding because of their large heat affected zone, easy deformation and low efficiency. Manual arc welding has also been replaced by more and more automatic welding and machine welding.
Five, the welding prospect is bright, but the requirements for the skills of employees are improved.
As mentioned above, intelligence and automation are the development trends of welding in the future. If you want to keep up with the market rhythm, you must conform to the development trend and develop towards intelligence and automation.
If you are still stubborn, learn skills that can't keep up with the pace of development, such as gas welding and manual welding. On the one hand, employment channels have narrowed; On the other hand, it is not conducive to personal physical and mental health. Even in this line, I am at the low end of the welding industry, and I can only earn a salary to support my family.
The development prospect of automation and intelligence is relatively broad, but the quality requirements for practitioners will also be improved accordingly. As in the past, learning from teachers may be a bit outdated, and you need some theoretical knowledge as a reserve to keep up with the pulse of the times. Only by being meticulous can we become experts and masters and meet the needs of the market. It is not impossible to become a welder and a great craftsman after development.
To sum up, with the progress of science and technology, all kinds of new and high-skilled welding methods and means will gradually replace pure manual skills. However, we should also understand that all high technologies are inseparable from people, including welding, and will only be more and more applied to all aspects of society, which can be described as promising.
