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.
