Artists who have used welding to create beauty
Welding is a process whereby metals and other materials are pieced together using pressure – this pressure can sometimes be utilized to create beautiful things. The pressure used in welding is pooled together with heat to change the shape of the materials being welded to the desire of the welder. To piece the metals together, the welder must use filler material that is compatible with the weld so as to make sure that a solid weld joint is formed. Welding is a simple process; it’s intended to join multiple pieces of metal together to form something more. On the other hand, there is a process called structural welding that requires a bit more skill than basic welding. This is because of the variety of colors and shapes that are involved in the process.
