What's the difference between solder and weld?

Solder


Definition:

  • (n.) A metal or metallic alloy used when melted for uniting adjacent metallic edges or surfaces; a metallic cement.
  • (n.) anything which unites or cements.
  • (n.) To unite (metallic surfaces or edges) by the intervention of a more fusible metal or metallic alloy applied when melted; to join by means of metallic cement.
  • (n.) To mend; to patch up.

Weld


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To wield.
  • (n.) An herb (Reseda luteola) related to mignonette, growing in Europe, and to some extent in America; dyer's broom; dyer's rocket; dyer's weed; wild woad. It is used by dyers to give a yellow color.
