Frequently Asked Questions

What is welding?

Welders play an extremely important part in fabrication shops. Welding is the method of joining two pieces of metal. This is done by applying extreme heat to soften the material and then apply pressure against the two items to unite them together in a melded state.


The welder must first inspect the engineered blueprint. Then, the welder will use a gas torch to fuse the joints of the sheet material. This is a complex process and it demands the undivided attention of the welder. If an unskilled person were working on this, it could result in the metal warping due to the high degree of heat.
