Allen:
What happens is that the strength of the reinforcing bar in
the head affected zone of the weld is reduced by 50%. This is
why you do not weld normal A615 reinforcing bars. If you
absolutely have to/ want to weld the bars then use A706
specification reinforcing bar not A615. Happy electrodes to
you.

Exactly what will happen if you do weld pieces together using
a minimum
amount of heat or welding material?

NO NO .. You do NOT weld rebar .. if you need it held in place
while doing
the pour, use that black wire made for that purpose... again,
DO NOT WELD
REBAR!
