unwelded
Separate metal pieces
Unwelded describes metal parts that have not been joined by welding—still separate or attached by other means such as bolts or rivets.
In industrial contexts, unwelded joints may be intentional for disassembly or a stage before final fabrication: The unwelded sections were easier to transport.
Inspectors flagged the unwelded seam as a safety concern.
