Welding refers to the fabrication process that causes materials such as metals, thermoplastics, and others to coalesce. It is an important process for constructing various objects and structures. Welding is mostly applied in building construction and creation of functional objects, but welding can be used for works of art, such as sculptures. Sculptural welding requires extensive knowledge and skill because it involves welding materials of different shapes and colors.
