Machining Quiz: Think You Can Handle the Fabricator’s Shop?
Which technique bonds metals by heating and fusing them into one?

Correct Incorrect Welding is a fabrication method that joins materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by fusing them together—usually by melting. This sets it apart from joining methods like brazing and soldering, which don’t melt the base materials. Today, welding includes various techniques, such as arc welding, which relies on an electric arc to melt the workpieces at the joint.
