You are correct, I should have said "joining metals" "welding" was just easier, and I have been doing it for over 30 years. I have my own inline fluxing system that I mainly use for race car fabrication. I have never attempted to make a bike frame, but I would like someone to show me how to use my inline fluxer to assemble a lugged frame.
