What is the difference between welding and fabrication?

Views: 609 Update date: May 07,2024
Welding and fabrication are related processes often used together, but they serve different purposes:

Welding: 

Welding is the process of joining two or more pieces of metal together by melting and fusing them. This can be done using various techniques, such as arc welding, MIG welding, TIG welding, etc. Welding is primarily focused on the joining aspect of metalwork.


Fabrication

Fabrication involves creating a metal structure or component from raw materials. This process includes cutting, bending, and assembling metal pieces to create the desired shape or structure. Welding is often a crucial part of fabrication, as it is used to join the fabricated parts together. However, fabrication encompasses a broader range of activities beyond just welding, including machining, forming, and finishing.

In summary, welding is the process of joining metals together, while fabrication involves the creation of metal structures or components through various techniques, including welding.
