Welding
Welding is a process that joins two or more pieces of material, usually metals, by causing them to melt and fuse together. It often involves adding a filler material to strengthen the joint.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Welding is a fabrication process that permanently joins materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by applying heat, pressure, or both, often with a filler material, to form a strong metallurgical bond. Key entities: materials, heat, pressure, filler material, metallurgical bond.
BACKGROUND
Spot welding is a type of electric resistance welding used to weld various sheet metal products, through a process in which contacting metal surface points are joined by the heat obtained from resistance to electric current.
