weldable
Can be fused
Weldable describes materials, typically metals, that can be successfully joined through welding.
Some metals weld more easily than others; steel is highly weldable, while certain aluminum alloys present challenges.
The term appears frequently in manufacturing specifications and engineering contexts: The contractor specified weldable steel for the structural framework.
Weldability depends on factors like the material's composition, thickness, and how it responds to the heat of welding.
