What is Welding?

Simply, welding is a way to make high strength joints between two or more parts. There are many ways to do this and these require a high degree of skill and advanced technology.

Welders work with a lot of different metals, alloys and materials – heating, melting and joining these ‘composites’ together.

There are several different ways to weld, some involve amazing machinery and revolutionary technology, including electron beams, lasers, ultrasonic and friction stirs.

Welders can be found in lots of places and in lots of companies… these include the making of aeroplanes… assembling cars and other vehicles… constructing buildings and bridges… working on oil rigs in the middle of the ocean and under the sea.
