In short, all welding is fabrication, but not all fabrication includes welding. Welding involves fusing. While both fabrication and welding play crucial roles in creating durable and structurally sound metal products, they represent distinct stages in the broader manufacturing process. While they're sometimes used interchangeably, there's a distinct difference between the two. Understanding how they relate—and how they differ—is essential for anyone involved in metal manufacturing or industrial. There are various welding methods, including: 1. MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Welding MIG welding is a versatile technique where a wire electrode is fed through a welding gun, creating an arc that melts the wire and base metal, forming a weld pool. This method is widely used in industries like construction, automotive.
