U.S. Air Force Col. Brian McDaniel, 18th Wing vice commander, welds two pieces of stainless steel together during his visit to the 18th Equipment Maintenance Squadron on Kadena Air Base, Japan, Dec. 6, 2012. Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is often done by melting the materials and adding a filler to form a pool of molten material that cools to become a strong joint. Pressure is sometimes used in conjunction with heat to produce the weld. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Justin Veazie)
