Welding

Welding requires a deep understanding of material properties and techniques. Welding, practiced by many of the 1.484 million people in the metal industry, remains a core skill. It’s one aspect of the overall fabrication process.

Welding bonds two metal pieces into one unit using heat or pressure. It is a specific step in a larger metalworking process. Key welding methods, like MIG, TIG, and stick welding, suit different project needs. While focused on metals, welders sometimes join plastics and glass, too.
