Welding also requires the hottest temperatures, soaring near 3800 degrees Celsius. In order to join the metals, the piec...

Welding is the process of joining two or more pieces of metal or other materials so that they act as a single piece.  It is a key industry in the US economy and an important part of most manufacturing and fabrication projects.  While welding is obviously a huge part of our life at Augello's Welding and Fabrication , it actually affects your everyday life, too.  Welding is an essential practice in over 50% of all American made products.  From motor vehicles to infrastructure, welding is all around you.
