Welding
Manufacturing and Industrial
Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals, by using high heat to melt and fuse pieces together, often with a filler material, using techniques like MIG, TIG, or stick welding. Welders work across industries such as construction, manufacturing, automotive, and shipbuilding, and the trade requires precision, knowledge of metallurgy, and adherence to safety standards.
