A joint formed by mating two separate sections of materials. Seams can be made or sealed in a varity of ways, including adhesive bonding, hot-air welding, solvent welding, using adhesive tapes, sealant, etc
joint consisting of a line formed by joining two pieces a stratum of ore or coal thick enough to be mined with profit; "he worked in the coal beds" put together with a seam; "seam a dress
The junction line of metal that has passed through a hollow die, separated and rejoined at the exit point Seams are present in all extruded hollows produced from the extrusion process and in many cases are not visible

Metal tubing used in bicycle frames can be manufactured in two different ways: Seamless tubing begins as a solid round bar, which is heated to a workable temperature, then pierced by a mandrel It goes through a series of rolling operations to bring the diameter and wall thickness to the desired sizes Seamed tubing begins as a strip of flat sheet metal, which is curled into a tubular shape, then the edges are welded together After ths, the seamed tubing may also go through various rolling steps Seamed tubing is cheaper, but weaker than seamless tubing Generally all better quality bicycle frames are made from seamless tubing
