In welding is part of the base material melted. Heating sources can be gas, electric arcs, laser beams, a.o. For some of the processes an electric arc provides the heat. In other cases it comes from the electric resistance between two surfaces.
Soldering processes uses another more low melting metal as binding agent. This means that the base material is not melted. The heating source is typically gas.
Adhesive bonding, also known as gluing, uses a binding agent (often a polymer) to join two surfaces.
