Cold welding is unintentional, spontaneous joining of two metal parts in vacuum. You don't want that to happen, especially if the parts are meant to move.

Normal welding is intentional application of heat to partially melt two parts at the seam, so that they "mix" in semi-liquid state and become one part when they solidify. Welding may or may not use a third material (solder) to aid the process.
