Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool, causing fusion. Welding is distinct from lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal.

What is a welder’s job?
Welders manage the machines that manufacture and repair metal structures, tools, and equipment.
These skilled professionals work in a variety of industries including automotive, construction, and manufacturing.
Other duties include planning layouts and measurements and testing welded surfaces.
Is the weld stronger than the metal?
yes the weld metal is stronger. like gaz said, being heat treated, the grain structure is different
In addition to the above comments, in the case of low carbon steel and other materials, filler wire is generally superior to the material being welded.
