arc welder
Spark-joining craftsperson
An arc welder is a device that joins metal pieces by creating an electric arc between an electrode and the workpiece, generating intense heat that melts and fuses the metals together.
The term also refers to a person who operates such equipment: My uncle worked as an arc welder at the shipyard for thirty years.
