Etymology

The term 'weldable' is derived from 'weld', which comes from the Old English 'waldian', meaning 'to govern, to control'. The evolution of the word has intertwined with the development of metal joining techniques throughout history. As technologies advanced during the Industrial Revolution, the need for efficient and effective methods of joining metal components became apparent. This led to the establishment of various welding methods, which in turn necessitated the need to define materials based on their ability to be welded. The suffix '-able' indicates capability, hence 'weldable' denotes that a material can undergo the welding process without issues. Today, the term is widely used in manufacturing, construction, and engineering to assess the suitability of materials for joining processes.
