The "w" and "e" are pronounced separately and the "ld" at the end is pronounced as a single syllable. The word means to weld something again, or to repair something that was previously welded.

REWELD Meaning and Definition

  1. Reweld is a verb that refers to the act of welding or joining two or more pieces of metal together again, typically after a previous welding process or joint has failed or proven to be defective. It involves reapplying heat and pressure to fuse the metal surfaces together, creating a new welded joint.

    This term is commonly used in the context of metalworking, particularly in structural repairs, fabrication, and maintenance activities. It implies the re-establishment of a secure and durable bond between two or more metal components that were previously united through welding but have since suffered damage or separation due to factors such as fatigue, stress, or corrosion.

    When undertaking a reweld, the welder must ensure that the surfaces being rejoined are properly cleaned and prepared to promote strong adhesion. This may involve the removal of any contaminants, such as rust, dirt, or old weld slag, and the creation of a clean and smooth welding surface. The choice of welding technique and electrode or filler material will depend on various factors, including the type of metal being rewelded and the intended strength and durability requirements of the joint.

    Overall, rewelding is a process employed to salvage or repair metal structures by reinstating a secure weld joint, thereby restoring the integrity and functionality of the affected components.

Etymology of REWELD

The word "reweld" is formed by combining two separate elements: "re-" and "weld".

The prefix "re-" is derived from Old English and ultimately comes from the Latin prefix "re-" which means "again" or "back". It is often used to indicate repetition or restoration in English words. In the context of "reweld", the prefix "re-" implies doing something with welding again or restoring a weld.

The word "weld" comes from the Old English word "weldan" meaning "to control" or "to possess", which was also related to the Old High German word "weldon" with a similar meaning. Over time, "weld" specifically began to refer to joining or fusing two pieces of metal together by applying heat or pressure. This process is widely known as "welding".
