It's called Fusion Welding. You answered your own question.
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.
a sound weld will have similar characteristics to the base metal. be free of cracks and fully fused to both surfaces and free of contamination.
You may be refering to the term SOLDER. If so it is used when soldering NOT welding.
The principle of gas welding is to heat two pieces of metal to their melting point or very close to it using a gas flame, then perform an action that causes them to fuse together. This action is typically the addition of more metal, but some metals can be welded together by heating them to the point where they become plastic, then laying one atop the other and beating the heck out of them with a hammer until they fuse into one piece.
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.
There are are no known processes in which metal is so smooth it begins to fuse together. Metal is typically fused together using welding or smelting.
The flame used for cutting and welding of metals is typically a combination of oxygen and a fuel gas, such as acetylene or propane. This flame produces high temperatures that can melt and join metal pieces together or cut through metal with precision.

Welding involves melting metal. Wood flames don't get hot enough.
Acetylene is commonly used in welding with oxygen to create a high-temperature flame for cutting and welding metal.
a sound weld will have similar characteristics to the base metal. be free of cracks and fully fused to both surfaces and free of contamination.
A gas flame in welding can reach temperatures ranging from 3,000°F to 6,300°F (1,649°C to 3,482°C) depending on the type of welding process and gases used. These high temperatures are necessary to melt and fuse metal together during the welding process.
Oxygen and acetylene are commonly used for welding because they create a high-temperature flame that can melt and join metals together effectively. The mixture of oxygen and acetylene provides a clean and precise flame, making it suitable for various welding applications. Additionally, the high heat produced by the oxy-acetylene flame allows for efficient welding of thick metal sections.
Oxygen is used in welding to increase the burn rate of the fuel gas, such as acetylene, in the oxy-fuel welding process. The oxygen reacts with the fuel gas, creating a high-temperature flame that is used to melt and join metal together. Additionally, oxygen is used in oxy-fuel cutting to aid in the combustion process, resulting in a clean cut through metal.
Oxyhydrogen flame is used for welding because it burns very hot, reaching temperatures up to 2800°C, which is needed for melting and fusing metal together. It also leaves a clean and precise weld, making it suitable for delicate welding applications. Additionally, oxyhydrogen produces a reducing atmosphere that helps prevent oxidation of the metal during the welding process.
The recommended welding amperage for joining two pieces of metal together depends on the thickness and type of metal being welded. It is important to consult the welding machine's manual or a welding professional for specific recommendations.
ARC welding uses large amounts of electricity to melt the metal, not a hot flame. So no, LPG cannot be used for ARC welding.
