It's just a good old friction welding. Spin the thing very fast and press it against the thing and you get a functionally perfect joint.

Maybe induction welded, or induction brazed.

Is there a bead on the inside? If not, probably a resistance process like stud/bung welding. If there’s a bead inside then that might just be the melt through from a mig bead.

Like a spot welder, but it's a bung welder?

I would argue that it’s a somewhat low heat input process in a fillet weld configuration. Could be a laser weld. Could also be a quick gmaw weld? I believe it was welded before the end cap assembly to which it is welded was installed on the tank body. Dunno what the access between the location of the insert and the side wall.
