Does anyone else pronounce "Soldering" as "Saudering"?

But there is a technical distinction. So anyone doing engineering or technical work must need to use additional descriptions to explain which one they mean.

Exactly. Herein lies the problem. The people who blindly use the software program to translate rarely think of these things. Come to think of it, I should start proofreading and editing manuals for them.

Here is a history of it.

Jarrod Roberson:
The correct way to say it is "sodering" sod-er-ing, the "l" is silent.

Why isn't this a choice in the poll?

Don't you read threads before contributing to them, or are you being deliberately obtuse?

You can meld two wires by soldering.  It's incorrect to call it welding since welding requires melting of the base metals.  Soldering dissolves the base metals and though it's essentially an alloying process, no base metal is ever melted.  It would be no more correct to drop a piece of metal into a vat of acid, wait for it to dissolve, and then say that the metal was welded to the acid.

Soldering is joining two metals with a filler metal of a lower melting point.
Welding is joining two metals with a filler metal of the same melting point.

Some years back,when I got into oxy-acetylene welding,books from the main supplier of such gear in Oz referred to what is commonly known as "brazing" (using a torch & filler rod), as "braze welding" to distinguish it from the practice of brazing using a forge.

Neither process,although they both fit your definition,is called "soldering".
Then,just to confuse things,the same process,using silver alloy filler rods is commonly known as "silver soldering"! ::)
