What Is Welding?

Varlowe Industrial Services News and PR from Varlowe Industrial Services - Published 02 June 2021 In a nutshell, welding is the process of uniting two or more materials together.
From the hobbyist to large industrial environments, welding is a popular manufacturing process.

Welding dates all the way back to 500BC, the Iron Age (perhaps even before that). However, the method used in those times was very simple. It was nothing but hammering together two metal pieces under heat.

The form of joining metals together we use now dates back to the 19th Century, albeit with more modern equipment and techniques.

Today, it can be used in metals, plastics and even wood. We will be focusing on metal and the techniques we use here at Varlowe Industrial Services.
