Compare with Definitions

Welding

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. Welding is distinct from lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal.

Soldering

Soldering (AmE: , BrE: ) is a process in which two or more items are joined together by melting and putting a filler metal (solder) into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. Unlike welding, soldering does not involve melting the work pieces.

Welding

To join (metals) by applying heat, sometimes with pressure and sometimes with an intermediate or filler metal having a high melting point.

Soldering

Any of various fusible alloys, usually tin and lead, used to join metallic parts.

Welding

To bring into close association or union.
