WHAT DOES WELDING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

welding

Welding

Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld. This is in contrast with soldering and brazing, which involve melting a lower-melting-point material between the workpieces to form a bond between them, without melting the work pieces. Some of the best known welding methods include: ▪ Shielded metal arc welding - also known as "stick welding", uses an electrode that has flux, the protectant for the puddle, around it. The electrode holder holds the electrode as it slowly melts away. Slag protects the weld puddle from the outside world. ▪ Flux-cored arc welding - almost identical to stick welding except uses a wire feeding gun, and the wire has a thin flux coating around it that protects the weld puddle. ▪ Gas tungsten arc welding - also known as TIG, uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.

Definition of welding in the English dictionary

The definition of welding in the dictionary is the activity of uniting metal or plastic by softening with heat and hammering or by fusion.
