Among the various methods of joining metal structures, welding occupies an irreplaceable central position. A welded joint is defined as a component or structure formed by heating, applying pressure, or a combination of both, to achieve a permanent bond at the atomic level between two or more separate metal components.

When it comes to manufacturing, machining processes are an indispensable part of the process. Machining is the process of transforming raw materials into the required shapes, dimensions and surface finishes, and encompasses a variety of precision machining methods to meet the requirements of different components.
