Description

Gas/chemical welding is a set of processes that join metals by melting them with heat generated from a gaseous or chemical source.

Overview of Process

Gas/chemical welding is a set of related processes, all of which are designed to join metallic workpieces by melting the joint. These processes are linked by the combustion of gases or other chemicals to generate the heat required.

Additional Notes

This is a classification process, not a end-node process. Specifying the detailed end-node process required will produce a better RfD search result.
