Welding

Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials — typically metals or thermoplastics — by using high heat to melt the parts together and then allowing them to cool to cause fusion. Welding is distinct from lower-temperature, metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal. Pre-heating components before welding…
