          It is gluing, but it helps that the glue is hot enough to also melt the glued materials a little bit.

          Soldering and brazing really are pretty much gluing, though. Fancy hot glue metal with fine tuned properties for penetration and beading.

            The glue is the melted metal of the pieces being glued.

            Which is why most glues are really agressive towards the surfaces they adhere. Better bonding if it melts a littke into each other and then hardens together.

        And if the wings should fail, unlikely as that may be, do be a dear and try to steer it away from the environment.
