What 焊 means
焊 names joining material with heat or filler, usually metal.
In Chinese, 焊接 names the welding or soldering process; 电焊 specifies electric welding, while 焊料 names solder or filler metal. The compound tells you whether a message is about the work, method, or material.
The early dictionary 說文 has no entry for 焊; the Liao-era dictionary 龍龕手鑑 records it with a fire-drying sense. The metal-joining sense is also associated with 銲 and 釬.
