You may be refering to the term SOLDER. If so it is used when soldering NOT welding.
Tac welding is not a specific material. Tac welding is a form of welding, that welder's use in order to hold two pieces' of metal together to get a proper fit. The tac weld can be easily broken if the two pieces' of metal aren't in the right place. So if you tac weld anything, the filler is going to be whatever material you are welding.
Thermofusing is the joining of two pieces of metal by means of a thermic reaction - as opposed to welding them. A thermic reaction is so hot, that it melts the ends of the pieces of metal to be joined (it's commonly used to join lengths of rail track together). Welding only heats the welding rod - not the surfaces to be joined.
Welding is done to weld materials by operating a welding machine. Many industries such as Shipyard, Robotics will be needing welding applications. The applications include extending a rod eor pipe, joining two materials etc. My brother is doing a welding course at Weldtech Training Inc at Ontario. He is very much fond of welding. It gives someones great opportunities to work in several fields.
Welding rods are fillers that add to the molten pool of metal. They are usually stronger than the metals being fused. In arc welding, they have a coating that burns and creates a shield around the puddle. welding rods are used for weld two pieces of metal together, or to cut metal if you have big enough rods and enough amps.
When two pieces of metal are joined by welding they become one as if they were made that way. Welding replaced riveting and reduced the amount of metal used while producing a stronger joint.
No. Welding is a profession and a method of holding two pieces of metal together.
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.

- Melting - Pieces of metal or plastic can be melted together (welding, soldering - brazing or using chemicals)
Spot welding is known as resistance welding because the the two pieces of metal melt together at the point of highest resistance to current flow, basically when the electricity flows through the pieces it heats up at the point of highest resistance that is where where the metal pieces touch and in a direct line from the two contact tips on the spot welder. Simple!

Welding began during the Bronze Age. Pieces were welded together by adding molten metal where they joined. Blacksmiths weld by heating and hammering pieces together. Oxy-acetylene welding began in the mid to late 1800s when oxygen was finally produced cheaply. Arc welding began in the early 1900s. TIG was designed to weld aluminum during WWII.
when you weld metal, you are combining the two masses by overcoming the electromagnetic repulsion of the electrons to each other when you bang metal together, there is not enough energy to overcome the repulsion, so the two pieces stay separate
It is the area between the two pieces of metal being joined. (When using a rod or tig, you would fuse the metals together)
