What is welding and what are different types of welding?

Welding is a method of joining materials together by melting. It's most commonly used on steel and ferrous metals, but some plastics can be welded too. Usually a filler material is added to create the seam between the pieces that are to be joined. There are several different methods that can be used, but most used today are variations of arc welding, where you use electric current to create an arc - a sustained spark - which is used to get the material hot enough to melt together. Then there's gas welding too, where the two gases oxygen and acetylene are burned together to create enough heat to melt the material. There's also friction welding, where the surfaces are rubbed together hard enough to make them warm enough to melt. Quite rare, but it's out there. The earliest form of welding - that could be done in a forge - involved getting the iron hot enough to get sticky, dangerously close to the melting point, and then beating the parts together.


What is the difference between electric soldering iron and ordinary soldering iron?

An electric soldering iron is heated by an electric resistance coil inside. Others may be heated either by a gas(like propane) flame, or by sticking them in a forge between uses.


What types of welding are there?

Their are dozens of types of welding, consult the American Welding Society(AWS) for a complete layout. However there are 3 types that will be used the most. One of them very ancient and takes some extra skill. The first is Arc Welding, which uses an electric arc to melt the metal and then filler metal is added to bond the joint. The second is Gas Welding, which uses a gas or sometimes an oxygen and gas combination to create a flame and melt the metal. Then add a filler to bond it. Gas is also used to cut metal in fabrication. The third is Forge Welding(Blacksmithing), this process uses intense heat and a charcoal fire to heat up the metal, to red pliable state so that may be pounded or molded into shape. This process has been around since the early days of mans need and desire to build and construct things. This method has to be taught by a special teacher and is now a specialty work as well.

Can steel be melted in a coal forge?

No, a forge is not hot enough to actually melt steel. However it is hot enough to make steel pliable .

Is mig welding a forge welding?

No, Forge welding is the simplest form of welding where two metals are heated to a state than can be forced to meld into each-other such as hammering or by other mechanical means such as a press. MIG Welding is short for Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). This is a process which uses electricity to melt the parent metal and the electrode (wire) while shielded by a inert gas to keep contamination's (our atmosphere (aka air)) out of the weld puddle. Forge welding uses brute force and heat to join metals while MIG welding uses electricity and a shielding gas.

When was welding founded?

Welding has been around since the Bronze Age when man needed to join two or more pieces of brass/bronze. Forge welding was probably used at this time also. Forge welding as we know it was used during the Iron Age when Cast Iron was developed. But the modern welding you see (Oxyfuel Torches, Plasma Cutters, Mig Guns Etc....) was founded or developed just in the last 110 years or so.


When forge welding is the metal molten?

No, it is just beyond red hot. Almost in a plastic state.
