Welding is a process of seamlessly combining two or more pieces of metal together using heat and pressure. When heat is applied to metal it becomes soft, enabling parts to be joined by applying adequate pressure. The concept of welding has been in existence since the middle ages when metal pieces were first heated on a flame at very high temperatures before being hammered together to join them. This method was later replaced by the use of electric and gas flames which proved to be safer and faster for welders.
