What are good questions for a research paper interview about welding?
I'm writing a research paper about welding a headache rack and just welding in general (needs to be 6 pages) I still need a few sources and I have a few people to interview that are welders, I just wouldn't know what to ask them, can i get some tips on this?
thanks in advance

1. Do you do gas and arc welding?If both, which do you prefer?
Which is more common now days?
What tricks do you have for overhead welding?
Are you a smoker? (I never met a welder that wasn't a smoker)
Are you self taught?
What are some of the more recent innovations in the field?
2. How did they become a welder
What kind of education and training did they need
What are the different types of welding
Do they mostly weld in the shop or do they travel to different sites
Welding is super boring and repetitive - do they ever get bored?
What is the salary like for a welder
What kind of hazards are welders exposed to
3. Maybe you could ask them what they might do if they were making one part (headache rack), and how it would differ if they were making 1000 parts of the same rack. Maybe you could ask them which process they would use and why. What problems may arise from fabrication of the part during welding. What the welder would change if that part failed. How much a welder could expect to get paid for a job like this. Where would the liability fall if the part failed and lives were at stake. If there are other methods of fabrication that could be used other than welding, and what the advantages or disadvantages of the other fabrication methods (nuts and bolts).. These are some questions that could start you off. Hope I was helpful.
