  • Welding: Joining Metals with Heat - Definitions & Types
    The most common word for joining two pieces of metal by heat is welding.

    Other terms include:

    * Brazing: Joining metals with a filler metal that has a lower melting point than the base metals.

    * Soldering: Similar to brazing, but using a filler metal with an even lower melting point.

    * Forge welding: Joining metals by heating them to a high temperature and hammering them together.

    * Fusion welding: Joining metals by melting them together and allowing them to solidify as one piece.

    The specific term depends on the method and materials used.
