Welders (Arc & Oxy)
Oxy-Acetylene Brazing
Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals, by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool causing fusion. Welding is distinct from lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal. In addition to melting the base metal, a filler material is typically added to the joint to form a pool of molten material that cools to form a joint.
