Cold welding?
In a PM post on repairing a scared lathe bed, one poster submitted a thread on cold welding. Welding that you can touch straight after, sounds like fairy floss.

I would think it is like a very small spot welder.
There are no tongs as per the normal set up, just a spring loaded fitting that is pushed into the area to be filled and current is applied.The one I saw had a little ball of material that was held by the gun like fitting.
The surface was filed and then polished.
