Welding
Welders use a variety of equipment to apply intense heat to metals for the purpose of joining them together or for cutting or trimming them to desired sizes or shapes. In general, welding can be classified as manual, semiautomatic, or machine automatic.

Manual welding is done under the complete control of the welder. Semiautomatic welding is done using equipment such as an electrode-feeding gun, which requires some control and manipulation by the welder. Automatic welding is done by a machine, which performs most of the welding functions under the attention of a welding operator.
