Most likely during the Bronze Age.

The oldest method of welding is forge welding, which dates back to ancient times. This technique involves heating metal pieces to a high temperature and then hammering or pressing them together to form a solid bond. Forge welding was commonly used by blacksmiths and metalworkers before the advent of modern welding technologies, and it laid the foundation for many contemporary welding practices.
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.
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.
No, it is just beyond red hot. Almost in a plastic state.
Fusion welding involves melting the base metals to create a joint, typically using a heat source like an electric arc or a flame, allowing the molten metal to fuse together upon cooling. In contrast, forge welding is a solid-state process that joins metals by heating them to a plastic state and then hammering or pressing them together, without melting the material. Fusion welding often requires filler material, while forge welding relies on the inherent properties of the metals being joined. Overall, the key difference lies in the methods of heating and the state of the materials during the joining process.
yes and no there is a process called forge welding but it is rarely used normaly forging means heating members of steel together to form as one eg hitting them with a hammer to fuse
At welding school you learn from experienced instructors who can introduce you to a variety of techniques that employers require. In a controlled environment you are introduced to the safety aspects required when using weldinq equipment.
Modern damascus is made by forge welding various steels together. The pattern is the result of the different alloy compositions of the materials forge welded together,pattern manipulation which is done through twisting, folding, grinding/hammering grooves down the steel, and etching to bring out the pattern.
