Noun / Verb
Context #1 | Noun

metal joining process

Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing fusion, which is distinct from lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal. Welding involves applying heat to the pieces to be joined, melting them, and then allowing them to cool, causing fusion.

Synonyms

bonding, fusing, joining

Examples of usage

  • His job involves a lot of welding on the assembly line.
  • Welding is an essential skill for anyone working in construction.
