rewelding

Fusing metal twice

Rewelding is welding something again, typically to repair a failed joint or strengthen a previous weld: The inspector found cracks, so we're rewelding the entire seam.

The term appears in manufacturing, construction, and automotive repair where initial welds prove inadequate.
