weld together

Bond with heat

To weld together is to join pieces of metal by heating them until they fuse, or figuratively, to unite disparate elements into a cohesive whole.

The phrase emphasizes combination: The heat welded the broken pieces together.

Years of shared struggle welded the group together into a tight-knit community.
