What are the differences between welding and soldering?

Welding melts the pieces themselves, and soldering surrounds the pieces with a different melted material, which locks the pieces together as it cools and hardens.


What is oxygen used for exept breathing?

Gas welding/soldering/brazing


What are the similarities between soldering and welding?

In soldering and welding, 2 or more pieces of metal are joined by melting metal at the interface between them. When the molten metal cools and hardens, it physically bonds the pieces together.

Does soldering mean replacing?

No, soldering is a method of joining two pieces of metal by melting a different metal with a lower melting temperature into the joint. Soldering and braising are similar methods but use different metals with a lower melting temperature. Braising metals melt at higher temperatures than soldering metals. Soldering and welding are different methods. Welding actually involves melting the two pieces of metal being joined into each other. Welding may or may not also involve melting a "filler metal" into the joint.

How welding can be defined?

welding is a process which joins two dissimilar metals........ Actually it is more than that. Welding is a process that involves the application of heat to either add more material or join pcs. together. It is not used just for metals (dissimilar or not) but glass, plastics and more. The pcs. to be welded must melt in order for it to be called welding. Soldering, silver soldering, and brazing are comparable to glueing.
