Halo universe
There were several arc welders on board the Cradle when it performed makeshift repairs to the UNSC Iroquois[1] and some were used by the Spartans to repair the damage to the captured Covenant flagship Ascendant Justice during a battle in slipspace,[2] and some time later by the insurrectionist technicians at Eridanus Secundus when repairing the Ascendant Justice and the UNSC Gettysburg.[3]
In Halo canon, it is assumed that the arc welder is used for roughly the same purposes since its introduction in the late 19 century which is quite simply welding two or more pieces of ferrous metal together using an alternating current.
