Keevitama

Keevitama is an Estonian verb that translates to "to weld" in English. It refers to the process of joining two or more materials, typically metals, by causing coalescence. This is often achieved by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a strong bond upon cooling. The term "keevitama" is widely used in technical contexts and everyday conversation when discussing fabrication, repair, and construction involving welded components.

The process of keevitama can involve various methods, each suited for different applications and materials. Common techniques include arc welding, gas welding, and resistance welding. The specific method chosen depends on factors such as the thickness of the materials, the type of metal, the required strength of the joint, and the available equipment. In Estonia, vocational training centers and technical schools often offer courses on keevitama, equipping individuals with the skills necessary for professions in manufacturing, engineering, and metalworking. The ability to keevitada effectively is a valuable skill in many industries.
