welders

They bond steel

Welders are people who join metal parts by melting them together, typically using intense heat from an electric arc or gas flame.

The term also refers to the machines that generate this heat.

Welding requires protective gear—particularly the distinctive helmet with its darkened visor: The welders lifted their masks during the break.
