Weld
New England surname
Weld is the process of joining materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by melting their edges and fusing them together, often with the addition of a filler material.
Modern welding techniques include arc welding, which uses an electric arc to generate heat, and laser welding, which employs concentrated light beams for precision.
Welds can be tested for strength and integrity using methods like ultrasonic inspection or X-ray imaging.
The term also refers to the seam or joint created by the process: The weld on the steel beam was flawless.
