Welding

Introduction to Welding

Fusing Strength with Skill

Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials—usually metals or thermoplastics—by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool, causing fusion. It is a critical technique in construction, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and many other industries. There are various types of welding methods, such as MIG, TIG, Stick, and Arc welding, each suited for specific applications and materials. Skilled welders play a vital role in ensuring structural integrity and safety in everything from buildings and bridges to pipelines and machinery.

With advancements in technology, modern welding now incorporates robotics and automation, enhancing precision and productivity. Continuous training and safety standards are essential to maintain quality and protect workers on the job.
