WHAT IS WELDING?
Welding is the most economical and efficient way to join metals permanently. It is the only way of joining two or more pieces of metal to make them act as a single piece. Nearly everything we use in our daily life is welded or made by equipment that is welded. This article is courtesy of Hobart Institute of Welding Technology.
