A weld join can be made with the high heat produced by: 1) an oxyacetylene torch, 2) an electric arc, 3) electrical resistance, 4) ultrasonic vibrations or 5) an electron beam. In ancient times, metals were welded using gold or silver solder. Later forge welding was used by blacksmiths to heat and hammer metals together.
