Weld′ing.
The process of uniting two pieces of a fusible material together by hammering or by compression while softened by heat.
This process is applicable to but few of the metals, iron, fortunately, being pre-eminent among these.
Platinum also possesses this property, which is availed of in forming the granules, in which it is received from its sources of production, into masses of sufficient size to be practically useful in the arts.
Horn, tortoise-shell, and a few other substances may also be joined by welding.
By far the most common and useful application of the process is, however, in uniting iron to iron or to steel.
This is, except in special cases, effected under the hammer, and at a particular degree of heat just above whiteness, known as the welding heat, when iron begins to emit vivid sparks.
The welding temperature of steel is, on account of its greater fusibility, considerably less than that of iron.
