welded steel
Joined iron alloy
Welded steel is steel whose pieces have been joined by welding—fusing metal together using heat, pressure, or both.
The term distinguishes it from riveted or bolted construction: The bridge was built of welded steel rather than riveted plates.
Welded steel structures are common in modern construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing because welds create continuous, strong joints.
