Welding Terms their Definitions

What is Welding?

Welding is a process of joining two materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is done by heating the materials to the point of melting, using an energy source such as an oxy-fuel flame, electric arc, laser, electron beam or ultrasonic energy. Welding terms their definitions are essential for understanding this process and the associated safety hazards.

The most common welding processes are oxy-fuel welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and shielded metal arc welding. Each of these processes uses a different type of energy source to create the weld. Oxy-fuel welding uses oxygen and fuel gases to ignite and maintain a flame at the point of contact between the two materials being joined.
