So you just yank the metal appart with your he-man-ness?
But a weld is alot stronger then the plain metal itself. If I remember correctly(which there is a 50% chance I don't) it has to do with when you weld you are melting the 2 peices together the same way metal is formed, then the extreme heat changes also heat treat it a little to help make it stronger.
