arcwelding
Spark-fused metalwork
Arc welding is a method of joining metal pieces using an electric arc to generate intense heat, melting the metals at the joint.
The arc forms between an electrode and the workpiece, creating temperatures hot enough to fuse steel.
It's fundamental to construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing.
Also spelled as two words: arc welding.
