Abstract
This chapter presents the need of classification of welding processes apart from various technical aspects as basis for classification of welding process such as fusion welding, cast welding, resistance welding and solid state welding. Further, classification of welding processes based on use of filler and heat source has also been described. Welding is a process of joining metallic components with or without application of heat, with or without pressure and with or without filler metal. A range of welding processes has been developed so far using single or a combination of above factors, namely heat, pressure and filler.
