welds
Bonds with heat
Welds is the plural of weld—a joint where metal pieces have been fused together by heat, pressure, or both: The inspector checked the welds for cracks.
As a verb form, welds means joins by welding: She welds the steel beams together.
Figuratively, to weld is to unite firmly: The crisis welded them into a cohesive team.
