Welding is the process of fusing two or more materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by applying heat, pressure, or both. The result is a strong, permanent bond that can withstand significant stress and environmental factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Basics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At its core, welding involves three primary components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Heat Source:<\/strong> This can be an electric arc, flame, laser, or electron beam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Filler Material:<\/strong> Often used to add material to the joint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Shielding Gas:<\/strong> Protects the weld area from atmospheric contamination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Common Techniques<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    There are several welding techniques, each suited for different applications and materials. Here are some of the most common methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Arc Welding<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Arc welding uses an electric arc to melt the workpieces and filler material. The most popular forms of arc welding include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
