What is Welding?

Nov 09, 2007 3 Replies

Welding is the process of joining metals by melting the parts and then using a filler to form a joint. Welding can be done using different energy sources, from a gas flame or electric arc to a laser or ultrasound.

Ahhhhh, thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks, i have been calling it "MeltoBlobulating" for 35 years.

Really not a real good explanation as Forge Welding, described in the URL requires no filler metal; Spot welding uses no filler metal and friction welding uses no filler metal. There are probably other welding techniques that use no filler metal.
